so why consider a saxo mate? if your scared of crashing your car get a volvo.... not on your case or anything just trying to understand the logic between paying money and time for what is primarily the exactly the same car.

I want to make it the best i can with what i've got, then i'll possibly sell what i've got for what i can get, not bothered about losing or gaining money from it.

the saxo will NOT be any better than the 106 to own/drive.

If you were asking me (a vts owner) i would advise against buying one.
