Rob, I can get 400 miles from a tank (just) but that's only because it's got a Massive tank! lol Not sure how accurate those MPG figures are, because I obviously didn't run the car completely out of petrol before I filled up!
I was thinking about a de-cat... but I heard they reduce Torque a...
Right, small update after having it on the road for a couple of weeks now. Fuel economy has tumbled a bit; got 25mpg from my first full tank and 27mpg from the next - that's from doing about 800 motorway miles, mixed in with some B-road driving etc... Not the best!
The drivers side door pin has...
I was in your position about a year ago - had a 1.2 Clio that I was bored of. I went with a 106 GTi, as they were much cheaper than a Saxo on insurance. Coming from a Clio, they're immense fun and feel a good amount quicker. They don't look bad either IMO.

Yeah, kind of thinking the same now tbh! Like the clean looking front end as it is... I'd just seen this photo of it with OEM yellow fogs and thought it looked quite cool.
LOL, I've only really noticed that since you said it - I thought it was just a garbage turning circle both ways...
Hahaha, too right!
I'd definitely recommend one after having a 106 though, brilliant step up in pretty much every aspect really. Takes a while to get used to having 6 gears to mess around with though...
After having done some B-road and motorway driving I've averaged 33.6mpg from £30, so not too bad I guess!
Plans are to just tidy it up currently, needs a new track rod end as one's already been replaced and there's the slightest bit of slack in the steering. Other than that, I'm only really...
Just had my first proper drive in it, initial impressions are that it feels like a bigger, slightly heavier 106 GTi; which it is tbh! The engine is an absolute peach! Very torquey above 3,000rpm and above 4,500/5,000 it comes alive. Sounds brilliant with the PiperX and Magnex, too. It's not OMG...
Not quite, it was about £100 more than the 106, but that's still about £100 less than a Saxo VTS for me!
Not expecting any sort of decent fuel consumption, but then that's not why I bought the thing!
