saxo vts test

[majed99aog]

برافووووووور

[mintybartlam]

On one hand, superb little hot (warm these days) hatch. On the other, a badly built plasticky bag of shit.

[Testostrone250]

8.9??? lol i must have a freak vts then mine does it 7.6

[2009Nez]

@Testostrone250  Yeah, i thought it was 7.6 secs aswell :s

[rumble291]

my mk2 vtr does 0-60 in 8.8 seconds with 3 people in the car....

[antonyr123]

@rumble291 vtr are still slower then vts no matter how u look at it lol

since when was 8.9 seconds worth talking about

[rumble291]

@antonyr123, Yeah i never said there were going to be quicker! VTS's are alot quicker as they have a 16v engine with 20bhp more and a different box. Well its a n/a 1.6 its not gonna be stupidly quick unless forced induction was used! Its not as fast as alot of cars in a straight line but the 106 gti (which is the same chassis as the VTR/VTS) was voted second best handling in some top gear episode and it was against ferraris and shit. handling > power (where i live anyways)

[deviljamez]

8.9 secs 0-60, my vtr mk2 will do it in 9.4 secs , not fast i know but not much difference between 8v and 16v :S

[Y0RKSHRE]

@deviljamez 0-60 in my VTS, and i would say all VTS's is much lower than that, easily less than 7 seconds..

[deviljamez]

@Y0RKSHRE ah i see, i have driven them before and they do seem quicker, never timed it though, 0-60 is so good because of the longer ratio 2nd gear

[WillJPalmer]

still a hairdressers car though lol

[deviljamez]

@WillJPalmer haha hardly, as apposed to a ford puma or vauxhall tigra, or do oyu have one of them ^_^

[WillJPalmer]

@deviljamez Last car i owned was a merc ml

[cashw55]

If its fast, cheap and handles how can you complain.

[dilawer321]

these 90's cars looked realy good, what the fuck did they do with the C2 it looks likes a fuckin post mans van

[druide106]

faster than a trashmerican Corvette, enough said!

[dingo27mobile]

@druide106 lol

[gcrfcone]

i have owned a 2000 vtr and even it was pretty nippy, they handle great(back left wheel tends to lock up under heavy braking) but the build quality is horrendous and the spoiler is attatched to the glass back window. never seen that before and if id noticed it before buying id hav thot twice cos thats js not smart lol

[andylee12345]

early vts's came with vtr alloys on, so you fail...

[Baskentli]

that is pretty good.

I love hot hatchbacks, economical, good handling, brakes and performance, affordable prices.

[Browny180]

It might has VTR alloys mate, bit look under the bonnet.

Did you not see the writing 16 v, = VTS.

[rpowell1986]

this is a vtr not a vts. Look at the alloys

[Ninjatasos]

PSA Group 4 Ever... saxo vts is one of the fastest car in its category and with few money can be tuned up to 150-170 hp...

[LIP15]

@Ninjatasos

It's french, it's built terribly because of that fact and it's got a CRAP engine.

It's tolerances are low, and being n.a limits those tolerances. 170BHP isnt alot from a modern 1.6 16valve engine, concidering a 1.6 8 valve back in the 90's would have had the tolerances for much higher power, and they actually came with turbos because thats where real power lies, forced induction.. Why didnt this car? Cos it's shit, it tries to be fast and it's not. 

[rumble291]

@LIP15, Stop chatting shit. 170bhp in a 920kg car is overkill for most road users not only does it increase insurance prices and fuel prices by having forced induction but it also will increase the amount of fatalities caused by having too much power in a car that weighs practically nothing. There cheap, nippy and great handling cars full stop.

[AZ274]

europeon or foreign cars usually have less power then the UK models

[DuDaX]

Then, does that mean that the UK is NOT part of Europe?

[sward2003]

i have a clio 1.6 as a first car, but hey il take your advice and get a nissan!!!!!!!! or maybe not..........

[cityflyguy]

Why anyone would waste there money on an abused french hot super mini is beyond me. If your buying in that class then get a lupo or arosa. Why not go bigger? a skoda fabia is the best small hatchback money can buy in the £1k range. The only french cars worth a look are the pug 205 (if you can find a good one) and 306. But my advice to a teenager that wants a quick, cheap first hatchback is to get a 1.4 nissan almera for about £500. 85bhp, 0-60 12.2 is pretty good considering low insurance.

[djhillnigg]

mate you havent even got the slightest clue what your on about

[gooniegoogoo23]

you guys cant say that about a car you have NO idea about!!

try drive one!!

[chapmasi]

Its OK in German I will translate for you:

0:29 This velour interior is typical of the French, its plasticy and crap!

0:37 This car was designed for 17's yr olds, dwarves and your mother. Real men cant fit behind the wheel even with the seat adjusted

1:06 When you thrash the nuts off it and change gear as if your Schumacher you'll still get beaten by a Mondeo

2:12 Buying this chav car means your required to permanently drive up someones arse as Demonstrated here

3:04 Dont bother, buy Audi

[HunterColeman]

Haha, I'm prepared to get spammed by thumb downs but OMG, that's probably the funniest comment I've seen on youtube so far!

Must say something though, insurance is higher than the cars worth for 17yr olds. Had a look at one for myself, £1000 fully comp, 19yr old, 2yr ncb for VTR, VTS was £1600.

[chapmasi]

I am to please :)

Truth is I have nothing against any car when it comes out of the factory (even cheapo french stuff), but people seem to try and convince themselves that these cars are fast and are for racing etc....

Its the type of car your mum buys.....

[PeterLorre]

your german isn't too well eh????

[chapmasi]

heheh well enough for this vid

[oldskoolfool09]

they arent the fastest in a straight line but will rape most audis handling wise. audis are boring to look at and the interior of the 106 is plasticy cos its a cheap car. and i would like to see a 17 year old afford the insurance for it tbh

[chapmasi]

You clearly didnt grasp the sarcastic nature of my post

[oldskoolfool09]

you clearly dont like saxos lol

[chapmasi]

hahaha Its not that I dont like Saxo's

I rem test driving a VTS when they first came out, and it was very nippy but all the chavs were lining up too so I walked

I have just come hate their image, people chat on threads like this about 0-60 times and their handling etc... when its the type of car your mum buys! Everytime I see a VTR its always being driven erratically by some twat with a baseball cap on who thinks hes Schumacher because hes got 87bhp!

the C2 has gone the same way to twatville

[XwnXJedi]

nah you should just read the info.

[juanjo321h]

Oferta 1.6 90 saxo

[tompstomps]

you should say its in german in the title u cunt

[druide106]

0-100 in 8,9sec???? what a bullshit, I never saw a Saxo/106 wich need over 8sec!! all cars were faster than 7,5-7,9sec stock!

[filipplo]

yep, I agree with druide106. these cars don't need more than 8 sec from 0-100 for sure...

[Dimonmmc]

+1 my stock 1.6 VTS `00 7.6/100 tested by G-Tec

[205johnny]

if a 106 or saxo needs 8,9 for 0-1100km/h,then an audi A3 1.6 needs 2 weeks....idiot germans...always to get your fucking products better than the other europe countries!

[skylinedrag]

I agree with you. Saxo VTS has better acceleration than poor 8,9s

[dimitriskouk]

the saxo needs 6.8 sec for 0-100! (rated over 5 times). i have the same saxo as the video. for just info its much quicker than the fiesta st 2.0l with 150hp.

[Dimonmmc]

I have saxo 1.6 VTS stock it runs 7.6-100 sec, my friend have the same car, and it runs also 7.6 +-0.1 sec. Measured by G-tech SS.

[deep89n]

Dimonmmc

true!!!:D

[blueledconversion]

Dont you have to wear a white track suite bottoms and be on benifit to drive a saxo?? or say 17 shit for brains??

[raggmanss]

i had a 172 much better than saxo in every way but the saxo was better around corners ill never forget how good ,ive a vtr for sale blue 12 mths mot fsh modded as well goes really well 1000£ huddersfield

[filipplo]

it's VTS 16V, just look at the engine.

[kyleDAgreat]

great car!

[shitwipe1212]

I drive a corsa sport hahaha and its better and it looks better because it is better its faster ha ha ha lol saxos are shit all of them

[greatbritainwba]

But Corsas are as common as grass

[hellonpluto]

and fucking shite

[KOKO5Z]

corsa is car for tiny girls,

[Zlyzer]

You sum up the vast majority of corsa drivers.. dumb, dumb and err... dumb.

[Mattruss1987]

Pre facelift vts had vtr wheels as standard, when the mk 2 came out thats when it got new wheels

[SvenualSpiel]

thats a vtr?

[hellonpluto]

vts mate. Phase 1 VTS had the same wheels as Phase 1 VTR. The Phase 2 VTS has different wheels but the Phase 2 VTR has the same wheels as the Phase 1.

[ladzm8]

isnt that a VTR? has the VTR alloys no?

[dimitris0437]

the best supermini ever

[scaritnow]

woop woop wow the seats move!!!!

100yrs later shitty citroen have finally caught up with everyone else

[hellonpluto]

phase 1 VTSs had those wheels on it, the phase 2 had the ones you're thinking of.

Saxos rule!

[snazzyjazzy360]

Got a 2001 VTS and for a 1.6 16v n/a engine, it is very quick. 1st and 2nd gear it shoots like a missile, although in a crash it blows to pieces like one too. Still, top handling, supreme acceleration and a great budget hot-hatch :D

[PD666]

I used to have one ... and let me tell you that it is one of the fastest 1.6 in the world. 0-400m dash it can outrun almost everything ... NA or Turbo .

And when it reaches a curve, it does it in style and speed ;)

[skylinedrag]

Are you sure??? honda CRX also has 1.6 NA, but CRX is lighter and faster than saxo VTS. D16a9 have 130hp or b16a with 160hp...

[akiskapouros]

saxo vts is quicker than crx on 400m about 2 cars ahead.this has to do with the better gearbox of the saxo.crx gears are to "long".we always talk about unmodified cars;)

[skylinedrag]

I don't agree with you. CRX EE8 has shorter gears ratio: 1st-3.250,2nd-2.052,3rd-1.416 ...and final reduction 4.133 or 4.250 in EF specification. I think the B series naturally aspirated engines from HONDA are more "developmental" than 1.6 from saxo. BLANCHE RACING CRX B16 did 10.2ET with 280whp

[Knoppers1985]

loving saxo

specialy mine

oder so ähnlich

[thicky7ern]

bass riders

[readyjava]

its times like these when i wish i lived in europe

this citroen has like amazing handling for a front-drive car WOW.

[saxoryan]

the first ever VTS' had the pepper pot style alloys

[vtsrobbo]

my bad, didnt see the engine :S

[vtsrobbo]

its not a VTS like the title says. Its a VTR

plus you can tell the fact it takes nearly 9 secs to get to 60 :)

[cueball2122]

Its actually a VTS mate look at the engine, it has VTR wheels on it though

[0xas]

Simply the Best!!

[JoNnY0702]

agreed!
