[grantsmith1985]

I've never seen it before, quite good, lol.

[Certi]

Good find. I'm quite surprised about how positive the review was. Did I hear him mention something about 60 in 2nd?

[SNewham]

the funniest bit was when he said it had electric windows and a stereo. haha :P

[s4xovts]

maybe some rep coming my way? lol:Y:

I've seen it before but when I had my Punto Gt so didn't pay much attention to the vts review but you can see why they sold so many if it was getting such good reviews.

I though it was the vtr that couldn't do 60 in 2nd?

[pug_boe]

lol not bad - liking the pug though!

[davew]

lol good review. loving they way the person switches over to red dwarf at the end :P

[sean_rae]

never seen that before ! well done mate !

i dont like vts's on those wheels tho urrgh !

[s4xovts]

so would the punto gt blow the vts into the weeds in mid range like he says?

[sean_rae]

i have had an encouter with a few of these! and they get past eventualy after 3rd gear

[ets2k9]

I'd say the punto was quicker but it couldn't go round corners so its all pro's and con's.

The vts is a better drive its less erratic.

[s4xovts]

There a really quick car and can make 200bhp with out to much hassle or money in comparison to the vts.

[Andy_S]

Quality little video.

"you dont use a stop watch to measure this cars 0-60, you use a calender"

Quality quote.

Nice to see some good things been said about the Saxo.

Good Video, enjoyed it.

[JamieB]

not seen that video before, it actually made the saxo sound very good and well made with all the little extras you get with it.

shame i cant say the same for clarkson's hair or anorak!! still got his trademark sense of humour!

[rushy_23]

Mwah haha love the way they ended the video! :P

Its strange though because when he mentions the 106, he says it is slower to 60 but also says its the same engine BUT also says it comes without a sunroof and passenger airbag.
So i wonder if he says its slower because of the book peugeot 0-60 time rather than there actually being a difference.

Good video, glad the french babies got some good feedback.

[Easty]

nice video that :)

got a good review on the channel 5 program too when they put it against the clio 182... not as good on straights, but soon caught it on the corners :D

[infamousaidy]

funny how the 106 looks so much less dated looking back. also the 106 driving position isnt as high so that probobaly helps, and like he said. its a big hurdle mwahahahahahahahahhahahhaaa..

p.s i do have respect for saxos, their like the ginger haired cousin of the psa family, you acknowledge their ability but still try and avoid them at weddings ;)

[Jimbo]

LMFAO.. sig'd

[Dan]

Good little video and nice to see clarkson saying some good things about it.

The vtr wont do 60 in 2nd but a vts can.

i can do 60 with the handbreak on and in neutral! so nerr

[TU-Tuning]

The GTi is unbeliveably sexy. And that VTS really needs a smily grill and a MK1 VT Spoiler, it looks well dated.

[jonesyFX]

"it wont start until you put your own personal number in, which is a good thing...becaue car theives cant read so they'd never get passed it"

lmfaooo class

[speedyvtr]

great video not seen that before.

[madsaxo]

[saxostu]

I remember seeing this episode of Top Gear and a few weeks later putting a deposit down on a brand new VTS :cool:

[GTI_Lee]

[mattturbo]

[adamsax]

[Talon]

12K new! Good vid.

i realised that as well, he says it like its bloody cheap as well but to be honest i dont think its a very good buy at £12,000
