FAO All You Citroen VTS Fans....

[Little Newms]

As requested by some members on here, Here is my old (and my girlfriends present) car...

Cracking weeeee car! More than happy after owning the Cup!

Owned it for 15k now and touch wood not one problem!

And yes i did touch up the plastic trim on the front after i saw the pictures lol!!! Wayyyyyyyy to cold the clean the arches today! That will have to wait.

Coments welcome.

 

[Josh220]

looks very tidy, lovely to see a nice unmolested example, cracking cars

 

[DamoWales]

I do actually like the VTS,

Interior is tacky though isnt it!

Nice though

 

[Ricardinho]

i meant as in no tacky bodykit which seems to be all to common these days as they get cheaper and cheaper. its getting the same with clios too.

 

[JR]

i agree, looks spot on that

 

[Little Newms]

Its lowerd 50mm and got upgraded shocks and a panel filter. Thats it...... I sold everything else on it.

 

[Alan]

Spot on matey...always loved your cup too..

 

[trailerparktrev]

That has to be one of the first tear drop facelifted VTS'. I used to own a September 2000 registered W reg one. Second best car I've ever owned and I've owned a fair few.

 

[Djw John]

Very nice bud, done just how it should be, bar the 16v badges

 

[trailerparktrev]

The nipper who bought my one off me said the 16v badges added "kudos" to the car. I was thinking "no mate more like 800 quid to your insurance policy"

 

[Little Newms]

Very nice bud, done just how it should be, bar the 16v badges

The previous knob glued them on I have tried!!!

 

[Nez]

Thats a minter...

There are quite a few of us on here that have come up from Saxo's. I still have my Vtr, couldn't sell her...

 

[AlexS]

16v badges are original! Its just they have been splashed on every thing else, people forget they originated on the vts. Cracking example btw.

 

[Rob_02cup]

Ive just got another one myself ,a X reg gold one.

Great little cars arn't they!

Nice tidy example

^ Think the 16v badges came very late on in the range.

I think P plated VTS models didn't have them and that was it

 

[Ad]

I thought it more like 2001s+.. but im not 100% certain.

 

[Martin_172]

vts's r great wee cars i was MEGA surprized when i saw 1 go for it the first time, i was only in my 1.2 tho haha the thing was flying round the bends and i was on coilovers at the time!! looked standard height too so think it was standard

 

[trailerparktrev]

Mine had them and my car was a year 2000 model and some bloke I know had an R plater and they were on his car too.

 

[cat171]

Yeah I too think they came on the ealry cars as well, then a load of others skanked the badges

The vts looks a nice example there apart from the seats (too lairy for me) I'd junk them for 106 gti leather/suede tbh.

Hows your brothers vee ??

 

[Clio_dci100]

is it anywhere near the performance of a 172 tho?

 

[Graham Gooch]

Love it.

Makes me want one lol

 

[trailerparktrev]

is it anywhere near the performance of a 172 tho?

The answer is YES.

 

[Little Newms]

The seats are darker in real life and dont look as bad in the pictures...

In a country road blast is just as fast as a 172 and more fun imo. In a stright line yes the clio would win. Also the clio has much better brakes!!!

cat171: My brothers vee is fine.... Being tucked away for the winter now. Cambelt etc is all due and he has a few plans for it.

 

[fmp_]

nice.

i almost went back to a VTS after my scooby, but for me they are a little old now.

Still alot of fun tho, and so cheap these days!

 

[SOHROB]

i remember your saxo,one of my favourite one's at the time.Still got my vts sat on the drive feeling sorry for itself

 

[TONKA84]

Love your saxo vts. I do have one tho, so i am biased. Mines green, not the best colour but in the sun it looks amazing! Wish i had of had the blue tho..

 

[Ian_182]

Great little clean car

 

[Graham Gooch]

Does it rattle lol?

 

[DebV6]

Looks like a very nice example, I do like the vts's

 

[Little Newms]

Does it rattle lol?

Are you sitting down?

No.....

 

[S77CCP]

love them Citroen pocket rockets.

 

[Mikey197]

Still think they look so nice, i would definately look at one of these after the clio as my plan is to sell up, buy a cheaper car and then look at gettin a house. Nice practical little run around. And they can always hold their own even up against a lot bigger cars.

 

[SBV116]

Got to love the VTS!!!

 

[DynamoDave]

I went to a 106 gti after my rover turbo to save some cash and still have some fun.

I ended up liking it more than the rover and completely transformed my outlook on cars and I learned a lot about 'proper' driving in it.

Never failed to put a smile on my face.

Made the decision of what car to get afterwards very hard! 182 was the closest I could get to the fun factor so seemed like a natural progression!

Agree with the styling comments mentioned above...Both 106's and saxo's look best low without any tacky sh*t stuck on!

[Djw Dave]

106Gti or Saxo Vts is my next car after My Uno turbo. The 106's are more expensive, but im unsure on what is the best to go for. The 106 seats are nicer (leaher) but the saxo dash is a better shape (IMO).

Both are the same pace wise, is either better built or cheaper for parts??

 

[MillerLight]

never really lied saxo in the past as most of the ones i'd seen had been mollested and chaved up.

last couple of days ive seen 3 vts's all were mint and looked really cool. (no lexus lights etc)

liking them more now.

 

[Djw Dave]

The Chavy saxo image is becoming less and less, im nots sure if the extra cost of a 106 GTI is justified.

Insurance wise the 106 is cheaper to insure by a few hundred pounds.

Its a tough call.

Edit, whats the handling like compairing the VTS to the Gti
