Can I Be One of The Gang Now?
 
Like, really really? Coz I now own a Citroen VTS :clapping: it is a C2 though, but it's even closer than the Leon lol

Picked her up last night - 06 plate, 35,000 miles on the clock (was used for commuting), minor dent on the roof lol

Had just over a 200mile drive to bring her home, now I sold my 1.8 Turbo car for this and I love it. The C2 is a great drive, but that clutch gets me every time (lots of gas and a little clutch then away you go, pulling off gets me every time at the minute lol).

Have got auto-lights and auto-wipers aswell, and a Magnex cat-back exhaust.

The car needs a bloody good interior/exterior valet which is first on the list, and a service. Had a slow drive home, EssexHoneys VTS went pop and the radiator pissed out everywhere so after some DIY'ing we took it easy (50-60mph).

Really impressed with the car actually, if you've not driven the C2 VTS I'd recommend it :)

Ah - if you spotted two black Citroens on the A14/A12 last night that was me and EssexHoney..apologies for lack of speed :bored:

I feel a group hug coming on :panic:

Long story short - my boss is my ex-partners Mum. I was meant to be working in Greenwich most of this year so got the Leon as the milage etc would pay most of the fuel ;) I was also meant to see a pay rise at Xmas - but planning permission means we couldn't get started on projects which in turn meant there wasn't alot of money about.

I've decided to wave goodbye to this job as I'm underpaid, and yeah I do bugger all at the minute when I work 10hours or more a day I don't get extra for it and with the credit crunch and fuel/tax I decided it was a good time to get rid of the Seat.

I am very happy with the car - it's in a different league to the Leon so I can't compare, but it's the best of a bad bunch (i.e. 1.6 engine :( smallest litre I've owned lol). Drives really well and gives me an MPG with two figures :p so can't complain. Will make travelling to an office much easier on the wallet now aswell! Will get a MK3 Ibiza Cupra in silver when I have some money again though!

Robb 16th July 2008 09:46

Get some pics up...

EH_Fella 16th July 2008 09:54

It is really, really, really dirty. Will take some photos in a mo, but am hunting out someone to valet it then will deffo get pics up.

So if any of you near Colchester are any good at detailing *hint hint*

I have a brand new c2 VTS and if I could get rid of it today my god it would be gone faster than you can say saxo vts. They are so gutless, not bad handling but that is pretty much it. Mine is already booked in for quite a bit of warranty work and it is only a few months old, not a very good start imo

They really that bad? Heard they were alright, heard they lost some performance from the Saxo VTS but still... hope yours is sorted mate.

Jamie 16th July 2008 10:57

I think it is just personal preference. A mate of mine had a c2 vts and he absalutely loved it. Whereas I cannot find much to love about it. Cheers pal, warranty is probally one of the best things about buying a new car. Compared to the saxo vts there isn't a great deal in it. I have had many plays with my mates pug 106 gti and he will pull away to about a cars length and then it is pretty much equal

Two days ago I went and had a look at a civic type R. Oh man I really want one, but because my car is on finance it is very hard to get rid of it at this early stage of ownership.

Jazz 16th July 2008 11:04

It was me Jamie... members of the '200+bhp Club' have to look after each other... :P

iJoke

Jamie 16th July 2008 11:05

Ah thanks mate, i have to spread the love apparently

If i go on a mission of good rep who knows i may be able to return it :Plol

Ahh no worries man, at least yours is cheap to run lol, running big-power VTECS is a pain in the arse on the wallet. Plus your car does what, 40miles per gallon? I'd kill to have that kind of economy in the current petrol-price climate. :y:

EssexHoney 16th July 2008 11:42

Its a nice car!! Still wouldnt give up my saxo vts for one though, even if i did have a few problems with it last night!!

Its still not a saxo though is it?!! Go to the c2 forums where you belong!! Lol!! ;)
