vdubgti Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 you would beat a vtr 90 bhp 1 but u would just beat a 98 bhp but not a vts no way i use to own a saxo vtr and i almost came close to beating a lupo gti and he said he was pushing it all the way pluss the vts is much lighter and would easy beat a lupo gti maybe you were racing a granny roflwot a load of bollux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little green pea Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 still the lupo is not a saxo killer looopy the gti and the vts are pretty eqaul my bro had a gti then he got a vts he sed he would rather have a vts anyday but thats him lol i have to say though the vts is quicker than the gti from experience pluss he could get 138mph out off the lupo and off the clock at 140 in the vts i no there int much diffrence and the saxo showing 140 is probs 120 lol but thats what it sed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 personal oppinion here id bet on the VTs i had the treat lately of having a proper test drive of a lupo gti and yeah there good but a vts feels so much more lively and so much more involving on the power a vtr no matter how you dress it up will get raped by a gti i have driven two one of which is now owned by a mate and even with mods its no match for a GTi imo but the Vts with equal drivers would beat a lupo gti i have been in one with a mate driving it quite tame and it feels so much quicker, has good steering feel which the lupo doesnt and is an involving driveBUT...id have a lupo gti anyday theres one thing that test drive showed me and its something i have talked about with Penry on here before, theres something about the gti the whole solid feel, the brilliant ride quality (couldnbt believe how smooth) the smooth power, the sound, the feel inside and especially the looks its all personal choice though, a gti is the package, a vts is the power and handling for a silly bargain price depends what matters mostwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Who cares about speed. The Lupo is the cooler car. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 The Saxo has to be the better driver’s car; Lupos roll a little too much. But the Saxo looks tired and dated and only has 2 stars, compared to the Lupos 4 stars. On balance the Lupo is the better car, given the Saxos minimal performance advantage.Saxo vts vs Lupo gtiIts the 1 night stand vs girlfriend analogy. Saxo is good for a good rag, but once you take the goggles off and look at the wider picture it’s a cheap minger. Where as the Lupo requires a bit more effort and cost, but is a lot more civilised and can perform when necessary style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> .

The subtle modder Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Gav that is sure one different way of looking at it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflmao:" border="0" alt="roflmao.gif" />the gti is the better car as i said but lets compare prices, 03 plate saxo vts, 28k miles, diablo red (arguably the best colour), graphite wheels, lowered 40mm all work done by reputable garage same place that did all the servicing after the dealer 3 years got offered it for £2600 now what gti can i get for that money? now hopefully half of you will realise why most have the saxo it handles better than the lupogoes better than the lupohas steering feel which the lupo doesntand can be got for half the price............wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vworks41 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Am i right in thinking that the saxo is a lighter car? hence why it feels abit quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penry Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 What GTi could you get for double that money wayne?? £5200 wouldnt get you much really, apart from an early car. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":coffee:" border="0" alt="coffee.gif" /> Like we said, ive driven both VTS and obviously a GTi. The VTS is just mad, it is quicker at the top end because my mate who had it was off the clock at indicated 140. It does feel quicker too, but the build quality is crap, the interior is velour, pedal box feels like you're controlling the car from the passenger side, i could go on for ages. I do quite like the looks of the VTS, a 30mm drop and the VTS wheels make it look a cool car. But they are so common, and id much rather drive a GTi any day just for the whole package of build and comfort. Thats my 2p's worth anyway style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Sorry - question - , those who prefer the Saxo, should you not hop onto a Saxo forum!!?? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> I was starting to think i was in the wrong place.French or German?? - I'd have my GTI over anything French anyday.And surely if you start to go slightly fast in a saxo the panels start to sound scarily like they are about to fly off!!?? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Edited April 12, 2007 by dizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001gti Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 lets put it this way, i often go to the stockport cruise (im actually goin there in half hours time) and there are dozens of vtrs/vts's nobody really cares there just another car on the road to me. but the looks i get in my gti give me so much satisfcation. who cares really if the vts is a little bit quicker! at the end of the day id sooner have a rare car which looks fkin awesum, than have a fkin chav mobeal which ever W@nker has.
