Out of those two I'd choose the 172. The only reason is you've got an identical car to the GTi as it is and it would be a huge waste of money. | |

quote: surely the 172's need a few revs to get anywhere aswell though mate are both n/a :o. but i kinda understand you, i find u can plod around in saxo's nicely...can be ultra smooth drive if just taking it easy, have a nice pull. Sure the 172's are more comfortable and nicer to drive on motorways or high speeds. Another thing to take into acount in my decision is that im going to tracking either one on the old occasion:thumbs: | |

I'd have the 172 out of they choices, you'll get a newer, faster, better specced car with the clio. | |

Build quality :o didnt think the corsa was quality when someone crashed into the back of it. but then again the same crash in the sax wud probably kill me:lol: I think the corsa's feel better quality as standard as they are underpowered/overweighted so has that "safety" feeling...the sax/gti's are pretty lightweight and have a little more power than makes it a little more unsafe (probably why i like it in a wierd way) | |

I've driven it a few times. I think its the kind of car that you can be sensible with when you need to be, if that makes sense? Vts, you have to put your foot down everywhere :o | |

Only driven 1.2/1.4/dci clio's. steering wheel and seats wud be changed instantly, hate its driving position. think i thought u was fad with the avator for sum reason :boggle: | |
