What does everyone think of them?

Got a quote on one for 1550 from Quin Direct which is fooking crazy as that's only 100 quid more than what they want for my 1.2 Corsa.....

So yea, any experiences with them?

And yes I know it's French but it's the only French car I'd consider owning due to insurance/economy etc.

Well if I got one I'd be keeping it for about 2 years till I could insure something bigger

You wana be looking at getting a newer one then with less miles.

Check it over good and proper, trust me, the niggling problems that you think you can leave with or easily sort start to get on your tits.

Noticable difference in build quality. Saxo does feel less well built. But nice nippy cars and lots of styling potential

The VTS is group 15 isn't it? Either way I can't afford it, so it's VTR or 1.2 8 valve

Depends what you want in your car aswell. I bought mine because its an ace cheap car to thrash about at weekends and have fun in.

Overlooked the fact I have to go to work in it everyday as well
