106 comes with half leather (most of the time) handles better due to thicker rear arb and some say is screwed together better.....id say the 106

** edit jason beat me to it and louis the vts isnt quicker, pug test the 106 with a passenger and lots of petrol in the car, citroen test the vts with just the driver and next to no petrol. Plus on the road theres nothing in it ***

obviously the 106........

and the car are exactly the same in terms of performance.

agree with mikey, once they have been lowered they look great.

although people that have owned both have said the 106 handles better than the vts because of the rear arb

i wern't a 100% shure just herd off some on on hear a while back that the vts was lighter and the later modle vts/vtr's have an extra 8bhp and they didn't do that with the gti's.

but like i say just quoting soming i was told but i was obviously told rong. i was hoping it wer true being a saxo owner to never mind lol

The VTS is a 1.6i. I take it that does not make much difference if the pug is apperently quicker?
