Views on the Saxo VTS

Been hearing some good thing about the Saxo VTS, I've got about £2500 to spend on a car not including insurance. So anyone here got one of these cars or had an experience in them, or is there anything better out there for the money?

Looking for power really in a hot hatch or a bigger car as long as it's quick

Far too small and cramped to actually enjoy being in it let alone driving it.

Goes well enough, and handles well as far as I can tell, although the pedals are so tiny I didnt want to drive it too quick incase I couldnt find the brake pedal again!

Didn't realise it was a car that had the pedals close together, my old 1.1 Peugeot 106 was like that and it was bad if you wore skate shoes or desert boots as you'd always hit 2 pedals at the same time lol, not sure I'd want another car like that but then I can always take a test drive in the Saxo.

Think I'll try and get a test drive in one next week or for the weekend and see what I think about the pedals and just the car in general.

I'd have one as I wouldn't be fussed on the image part

Was just speaking to a girl at work about these cars and she laughed at me, so I won't be able to pick up the ladies

I like the look of the 306 gti but don't really like the xsara, think it'll be out of the saxo vts or 306 gti-6, will have to look into getting some test drives

the 106 iss a saxo they are the same car the pedals will be the same...................

I'm hoping the pedals are a bit further apart than what I had in my L reg 1.1 106

yeh but I'm just saying my Peugeot 106 was an L reg, I'm looking at getting an R reg or higher so the pedals may be a bit further apart and I do get that they a 106/saxo and 306/xsara are basically the same car

its not a personal attack its just the way society sees things and generally it does not see things without reason.
for example mx5's are deemd to be hairdressers cars,
saxos are deemed to be owned by chavs,
more recently evos and scoobys have been entering this slot too as the earlier ones have become more affordable to mr chav.

im not saying your a chav but 7/10 saxos i pass in my town have stuck on tat and "wayne loves fiona" plastered across the windscreen. coincidence. of course must be :/

So you're saying I should throw away my 'luke' 'bitch' sunstrip?
