Just funny to see people get so upset for a very small reason.
Because you idiot 106 GTi drivers just cannot believe your cars can be knocked off this imaginary mantle you have made for it. It isn't the best, it hasn't been since the 172 came along 8 years ago, why you continue to believe its the performance car that all should be compared with I have no idea.
an vauxhall havnt made a good corsa since the gsi.
they may have a powerful engine but looks are crap on the new one. and if im paying that sort of money for a small hatch i would want the full package not just speed or looks.

What a thread, Will we ever know which is better? doubt it, the corsa VXR would be pretty quick in a straight line and should have the legs over a GTi/ VTS, but around a track it would be close between the 106/saxo and a VXR, after seeing a VTS on topgear a few years ago sticking with the Mk 1 172 around a track, and seeing as the VXR is only 1.4 or so slower than the 197, i reckon it would be dam close

1.4 seconds slower around that track, what about a different track? What about different conditions? Limited ability driver? High ability driver, 18 inch wheels, 17 inch wheels, wet, dry, fast track, slow track there are so many variables in car testing its ridiculous. Both the Clio and Corsa VXR are superb cars and there is nothing to choose between them.
A VTS/GTi/172 wouldn't be able to get near a 197 or VXR, sorry. Renault wouldn't build a Clio which wasn't as fast or handle as well as the previous model would they?

i think this is amusing, from me saying that i saw one and it looked gorgeous this thread has spiralled out of control! My intention was to basically apologise for slating it from pics (only the looks) but in real life it is fantastic. If people want to argue about it's performance please do in another thread.

lol you know the game, just love the arguments on here which is quicker, kind of pointless when you cant do a fair comparison, then it all turns to which interior has better plastics, build quality, depreciation and then you know the rest

Only idiots that haven't driven one say its crap and stir up threads like this, then throw their 106 GTi into the equation.

197 and VXR got that won already, you won't need to take it to the track. Totally pointless exercise. Both are faster, both handle better. Saxo & 106 are the old models now, should it be a 107 XS or 207 GTi or a Citroen C2 VTS  Vs Clio 197 Vs Corsa VXR, that would be amusing

bit off topic Have there been any comparisons of the 197 vs a 182 Trophy (or any old clio sport), just to see which is faster as the 182 trophy is meant to be a very good package, and with the 197 being heavy it would be interesting to see, be good to see the 197 R26 around a track as well

My god, I'm embarrased to be a member of this site right now. No wonder other more serious boards take the piss out of cs with threads like this topping general chat ffs.
You've got topshot acting like vibrio and ignoring other peoples arguments.
Filby spouting shit about lotus carltons
The usual 106 gti vs the world shit.
It's getting a bit dull people, some people will like it, some people will think it's worth buying new, some people may even use it on a track or to drive fast on a road, some people may even have a preference on the type of gearknob and how that effects the overall look of the interior.
The tangents people go on in these weekly/daily vxr theads frequented by the same people with the same arguements is laughable.

why do people think the 106 gti is the be all and end all of performance cars I have driven lots of them, never been impressed much really.
out of the box they are a great car in standard form, but nothing amazing. better than their competitors attempts at a hot hatch though. cetrainly not good enough for people to compare them agains every other car ever built.
truth is that the people that think they are so great are the same people that own them and are often very narrow minded to think they will beat ANYTHING over a 1/4 mile and round a track, the same type of people that think that they need to try and race EVERY other hot hatch or modded car that they see on the road.
thats my opinion anyway.
