New and some questions

[Ry_B]

Alright everyone :thumbup:

Been reading around after some googling and reading some reviews and found this site, looks good and has a load of info but still got some questions

ATM I drive a 1.2 8v (yes 45bhp!!) Corsa..it's my first car and in 2 months I've had it for a year (scary how quick it's gone :o)

Anyway I'm 17 now but next month I'm 18

basically I want something a bit sportier as the Corsa is just too slow, been a good reliable first car and taken a hammering every day without fail, but it just doesnt cut it anymore lol, so Im thinking of getting a Saxo VTR as I think they look mint slammed on 15"s!! I'm into subtle styling so no OTT kits or anything!

So anyway enough of the rambling, the questions:

How much can you lower a Saxo by without having to do much work? What are the best springs/shocks? Is that all you need to do to lower it? Aprox cost?

I know you're bound to all be biased but are they reliable? What are they like on petrol if you drive sensibly and if you cane it? My Corsa got an average of 28mpg so anything better would be nice

What kinda things should you look out for when buying? I know the usual checks but anything Saxo specific?

Any common faults?

Just any general information would be nice, and also some slammed Saxo pics would be great

Cheers :thumbup: :
