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

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?

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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 ;)

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