Well saxo VTS = 120bhp and the flippin sunroof rattles when I shut the doors on the one I test drove! Shoddy build or what ..... anyway the HGT has 130 and is built a hell of a lot better.
Plus I only paid £9000 for a brand new 'un.

I don't care if he got free insurance! The sunroof still wobbles like a piece of cardboard when you shut the doors, like a 120bhp tin o'beans

VTS, fast yes but agree rattle a lot when the get older, well known for that.

I like the newer shape Puntos more than i do the old. BEst mates birds got a 1.2 16vv. 6 Speed box, comfyish.
Agreed the 1.8 16v engine isn't the fastest in the world, but im sure more could be extracted if wanted.
Couldn't see a Saxo runnign 320bhp odd (As featured this month)
I like em, not the quickest ever cars, but still ok
