the thing is 'glanzadan', you are trying to say a glanza is better than a saxo. Its like saying one sort of cancer is better than another. they're both shit so your arguement is totally invalid.

and that crap you said about it being for 'japanese car enthusiasts' it isn't at all! it was made for little japanese ladies to do their shopping in as the saxo was designed for little french ladies to do their shopping in. just because a bunch of kids decided to 'tune' them doesn't suddenly make them a 'pedigree race car'. Likewise for the saxo.

they are both shit and no matter what you do or say they will always be shit so grow up and get yourself a decent car instead a micra with a bodykit and a cold.

just to add, 'japanese car enthusiasts' don't really fuck around too much with the little fwd hatches, they are the minority.

Honda fan boi's wont like that much ;)

[QUOTE=GlanzaDan507;4903543]LOL - Swaping the Mint 98 spec for a Saxo...:homme:

actually i swapped it for a fiesta zetec s, glanzas arnt as good as everyone makes out, i got one because of all the hype about them, but once i had it a few weeks i realised this. always getting pulled over too as it wasnt coming up on there system as its an import, it got annoying

[QUOTE=Pod;4904735]Same for every car, eventually people get bored and want something faster

lmfao i have owned a number off saxo's vtr,vts turbo i loved them but soon has my mate took me in his glanza that was it didnt look back when i sold my saxo for glanza,saxo spent more time in the garage then on the road cause the drive shafts,power steering rack or clutch would go there plastic's fall off over the arch,glanza's are owned by chav's maybe few off them but every were you go there's chav behind the wheel off saxo with bout 10 exhausts out the back lmao,ya this is saxo site so your going to say saxo's are mint like glanza site will says glanza's are mint,glanza over saxo any day and i have owned both :boxing:

Starlets can be got in 4wd show's you how much you no:clapping:

Re. Starlets:
Nail on the head.

VTS - Everyday car

Glanza - For fun cheap dump valve fun car

R5 - For a weekend/classic car

I see more chavs in Glanzas than Saxos.

driveshafts and clutches? Well stop doing burn outs and wheelspins then you stoopid chav, you're one of the chavs that you're talking about that you saw in a saxo, in your sun visor mirror.

Work on your grammar aswell, illiterate monkey.

OP its an old thread..a three way race on the M1?

Renault 5 turbo would be my choice for some reason i have a soft spot for them. Wouldn,t have a vts after having a vtr and mates got a glanza and not keen on them at all

This thread is actually laughable. I'm sat here wondering how many people that slate the Glanza have actually driven on.

Saxo VTS - Cheap french hatchback made for people that want to get from A - B with abit of performance added in. (Not intended for tuning)

Glanza (Phase 2) - A little bit more expensive second hand but the same again. It's just a hatchback from A -B BUT has been built with alot of tuning potential. It's what the Japanese specialise in at the end of the day

R5GTT - Rather dated these days but by far the most iconic. Built to be a lunatic on the road and still are to this day. Do suffer reliability problems but they're what, 20 years old?

I've driven all three of the above. I own a Saxo and I do enjoy it but in terms of driving, the Glanza and R5GTT were certainly quicker than the Saxo. The Glanza under boost was immense, as was the R5GTT.

All in all, the reason the VTS is as quick as it is is purely down to the fact it is lightweight. Anything with 120bhp and less than 950kg is going to be quick. At the end of the day, it comes down to tuning potential and what you're willing to spend. The Glanza and R5GTT are built to be tuned. Can't say the same for a Saxo.

No "Fanboy"ism there!

**Edit**

As for the "Chav" stigma, that would have something to do with costs. You can buy,insure and run a Saxo for alot less than a Glanza or R5GTT which instantly makes them more popular and common. "Chav" cars are just common cars with young people!

Or the saxo is more of a handling rally car?

lmfao im far from a chav my good man

A three way race on m1 public road dont think so

I dont do wheelspins and burn outs bit old for that now :y:

Why not? Theres 4 lanes and its really long. Could get to at least 150mph.

I like your thinking lol

You sound like the love child of a troll and a chav, go eat your maccy d's else where please..

agreed


and glanza's are still chavs, just as much as saxo's

Im sorry sir, but up in aberdeen we have hundreds of glanza's going about, and im sorry to say they are all young kids who dress in hoodies and baseball caps, my neighbour has 2, and he is a chav aswell who thinks its a rocket, but it just goes slow as shit and pummels out tons of smoke.

maby where you live they are for "enthusiasts" but up where i live, you see one every 2 mins.

I like Glanzas but they are just as gay /chavy as Saxos, and don't think when your driving one the guy in the BMW behind isn't thinking the same as when a Saxo appears infront of him, and that's what a peice of shit, because you will be in for a suprise.

All the cars mentioned are cheap, and relatively cheap to insure which means all sorts own them, when an enthusiast get's hold of them it's a different story entirely, however lots of people work on budgets and like things done cheap not necessarily properly.

I myself, would have a VTS hense...I own one, that said I wouldn't mind boost again, but I couldn't drive a car that is often mistaken for a Micra, regardless of power.

Haha, jamie, my mum and sister both say stuff about glanza's everytime they see one saying how ugly they are, there cool to the younger generation ONLY because they have turbo's but in aberdeen, its overkill - its car of the centuary, theres more of them than saxo's or even corsa's!! especially with a few importers up here aswell there VERY easy to get hold of.

Lol, don't get me wrong they like any car with the right owner can be done right, but the guy who came from GlanzaVille' is deluded.

Nutorious-C-a-t on this forum had a very well spec'ed glanza that was very clean, not the normal "turning the boost to max" glanza, thats the kind of person you call an ENTHUSIAST.

Not someone who buys one one thinks lowering, drift wheels and turning the boost to max isnt called an enthusiast, which is what this guy (as you call it from glanzaville) has done to his.

putting a drift toy on his FWD moon buggy.

A pal of mine has one, it's running a TD04 turbo IIRC out of a Scooby WRX and a bar of boost, it's very quick, but still fugly as sin lol!

they are bassicly a LWB-Micra with a spoiler to stop it taking off

How does posting picture's of shit bodykitted Saxo's make the Glanza better? Surely that just shows those car's owner's have poor taste?

And besides:




Looks like a bloody mpv lol.

I don't know what everyones problem is with the Glanza. Sure the original was boxy and rather ugly but the one you posted looks good to me. I especially don't like the one in Mansfield lol You'll know the one!

Haha... Claire's? She's a facking mappet lol.

But yea, they're fugly and as said, look like a Micra. Never been a fan, never will be lol.

I think people just buy them because they can play with a dump valve :S Fair play to those that do like them though, but not my cuppa.

Claire is my ex's cousin lol But I'm not going to disagree about her haha

Insurance on a Glanza is crazy!!!

£900 fully comp for me :)

For me 19, 1ncb, two names drivers, £2100!!!

Glanza is the same as a vtr for me on insurance.. And that was as a "import gt turbo" none of this 1300 no turbo bullshit kids have been doing the last few years :S

i'm fully aware that the starlet was made with a pathetic 4wd system that can't handle any form of power worth mentioning.

the ax was made in a 4wd but again is a gay 4wd system that can't handle any form of power.

this may seem like 'pot, kettle, black' scenario but all you have done is come on here and tell us how you side stepped from one shit car to another shit car and you are now trying to justify it! they're crap, and really anybody driving either car gets laughed at really.

that is very true i no cause i have owned both i did love my vts turbo but cant seem to find other one there was one on piston heads for £2500 but its gone :cry:

10 psi i personally dont see why you would of sold a vts turbo to go and buy a 1.3 glanza turbo, me personally would rather have a saxo turbo if offered both. I do like the starlet gt and came very close to buying 1 before i got my current vts and personally dont think they look that bad, but out of all the cars if they were all mint and new/ready to go id pick the R5GTT anyday

thats just as much insurance fraud as insuring it as a non turbo.

gt turbo is not a glanza, and is completely different to insure.

im insuring my gt turbo, with mods declared, thats over 300bhp, with cd30, and it costs me just over a grand.

glanza for me personally

I may have put starlet then but when engine came up if offered me "import gt turbo" are the glanzas more then??

Shame if true as the glanza is even more fugly than the ugly starlet..

yup, silly as it sounds, glanza's are more, well i dont think specifically they are more, but less companies cover them, so in the long run there are less quotes to get, so costs more.

and for the fella who said the 4wd system cant hold power, there is one in ireland that was taking over 300bhp, and was used mostly on 1/4, so did get put through its paces, and nothing failed with the 4wd setup.
