I was a hater until I bought one as a run around and now love mine to bits 
Did a 500 mile journey today. Got 350miles to a tank dispite a good dose of fun and I wasnt deaf and crippled either 
wont find more fun for sub £1500 imo
All they need is lowering a little and they good 110% better

They sound ace with induction kits too! Seriously turns the car into a little beast, even if it is only a bit more noise.

I was a hater til I got my VTR. Then the XSi 16v shocked me to death with how quick it was with a standard engine I now have appreciation for the tiny tinny things.

Cheers mate. Yeh I got it mint 1 lady owner, full Citroen SH, 60k with 18 months warranty from Portsmouth for £2400 in Oct 2007. Was a mint example but just couldnt get on with it. The build quality of the suspension and interior is shocking and thats what put me off as I had to replace every suspension component. Mine made 133bhp with filter and 2" straight through and it was rapid. Excellent engines, shame about the rest of the car

Yer its the oposite My gsi was mint and built properly but the engine was shit and kept going wrong
This has a bullet proof lump that doesnt use a drop of fluids but the rest of the car falls apart. Its very clean underneath mine and no rust anywhere. Just made of paper but I supose thats how you get a light car

No cheeky, I drive a Nova, alot of people say to me they hate Nova's I say "well I love mine, the choice is yours really" I have seen 1 Saxo I like so far, but from what I've heard (I've never driven one being honest) they're worse than a Nova to drive.

Chassis leg cracked right in the engine bay.
Axle went through the floor
Scrapped an x-reg one at work too due to rot.
