How many counts of 205GTi are there in that list :D
Nice to know I drive one of the best Hot hatches of all time.
The torque steer isnt too bad in the dry, dunno what the car is like in the wet yet though, prolly spins like a b**ch. The guy that owned it previously said itd spin through...
Its funny.
The 1.9 GTi is one of those cars I have always wanted to own.
Along with a 172, Willy, V6, Pulsar GTiR, Skyline, and big BHP Cossie :D
Better get saving I guess, insurance will be a b**ch on all those ;)
...And I love it!
1.9 GTi with a 1.6 box in it.
Right little pocket rocket, redlines in seconds :D
Even had a 206 try it on and he got spanked hard!
Even if I do top out at just over a ton.
Grips like a beast and is superb for controlling on the throttle round bends.
Evil throttle response...
A cossie would be more like it.
Talk about interesting to drive, I remember following one and watching him trying to put the power down in the wet, instant sideways mode! ;) Very entertaining.
They are just a bit too much of an animal for me, I want a car that has stupid power when you...
Scoobys are like clits...Every c**t has one!
I think they are awesome cars, but unfortunately so does the rest of the world.
I would rather have something exotic and unusual than the same car as everyone else.

They are insurance group 18, good luck with the insurance at 21!! :o

Hope you can afford the repair bills!

"What happened to it? It was a pile of crap thats what happened to it!
You think your Zeds are unreliable. Try a Lotus...
Mine should do 1/4 in 13.8-14 dead. (If it was running properly, which it isnt)
I still wouldnt go up against a Rossa.
And yes, .5 of a second is a lot of car lengths at 100mph.
When I had my VTS a Viggen Saab ripped me a new one from a 50mph rolling start.
It was like watching the Enterprise go to warp :D
Gotta have turbos for that mid-range punch!
Since Ive had the Nissan, only had a modded Vauxhall Cav try it on... He was raped so badly from a set of...
Heres my girlfriends car...

I just have some diplomacy mate.
Theres a difference between being honest and being rude! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they arent by right entitled to share it.
GOOD "IMHO: I dont like them after my Dad had one for a month".
BAD "Theyre pretty bad cars to be frank...
The handling is very good, in the dry :devilish:
The ride is quite firm, but not as bad as my lowered VTS, it doesnt skip over bumps either like the VTS.
The rear wheel steering is supposed to help with high speed cornering but I am still learning the car so havent reached that point yet...

You may have a quick car, but how can you say a sub 6 second to 60/ 14 seconds to 100 isnt quick?
Oh and mines limited to 155mph, new ECU apart from giving another 60BHP also removes the limiter so its top speed is 170mph+
So doesnt sound like a slow car to me :D
Thanks all :D
Its the UK 2+2 Twin turbo, fantastic to drive and pretty quick once the turbos get wound up. All leather and electrics.
Lush.
It also looks very unique and has a powerful presance on the road.
Insurance isnt much more than the VTS! :D
RobFenn - You are an idiot...
Got a new little baby now! :D
Sorry the piccies are a little dark, I only picked the car up tonight.

Id go up against an EVO or Scooby in my next car, sod it, Id even take on Porsches/Lotus etc...
But I wouldnt mess with Craggy in his VTS....!
No really...Just in case... :)
P.S. Next car will be either a 300ZX Twin Turbo or Mazda RX-7 Turbo...
Prolly the 300ZX :cool:
Im getting a new car to replace my VTS and fancied something pretty fast, so my girlfiend and I went to view a Import Mitsi GTO 3.0 V6, and Im afraid first impressions were pretty gash! :(
I think the exterior styling is wicked and I know the performance of the twin turbos is wicked but the...
Dont go against a Saab Viggen, I tried and with 230BHP and hundreds of pounds of torque he smoked me when his turbo finally kicked in!
It was like sitting behind the Enterprise when it goes to warp! ;)
Still, when (or if) I get me new motor, Im gonna rip him a new one! :D
If you want to see some videos of a VTR mildly tuned, (zorst, lowered, induction kit) then have a look at the videos on my site http://www.saxo-vtrs.co.ukhttp://www.saxo-vtrs.co.uk.
Glad to see some rational disscusion going on about different cars and not the "All Saxo/Fiestas...
