Default Saxo

I sold my saxo quite a while ago and bought a ep3 which is nearing completion and am now getting bored! Everytime i come on to the computer im attracted onto ebay looking at vts's and 106 gti's for a 2nd toy. I am undecided which one and whether i should or not sooooooooo i thought i would ask sax-p!!

GTI because they look better and seem to be worth more....maybe because there are less of them around.

i think the mk2 vts looks more modern and better than a gti, but if i were looking for a toy it would be a rallye

Gti for me too, they don't seem to have a reputation like the saxo does.

Out of the two i'd pick a VTS. Why pay more for basically the same car. Whack a set of GTI seats in if you want the leather.

I'm personally not too fussed what people think. I mean this in the least offensive way possible dude but anybody not into car's will look at a modified 106 and still think you're a chav.

If its just a for pissing about as a toy then go for the S no point paying more for the same thing.

If you do get a Sax buy a Mk1.

Like what some have said, it's the same car for a lot less money. I was in the same dilemma recently and just couldn't justify the extra money for a 106, but I do agree they look better.
