Maybe but they are very cramped and starting to show their age in every department.

In real life its all down to who gets the better start, how many people are on board, if you get the gear change right!
I have beaten a 1.6 vts and the pug gti, but lost to a vtr as i missed a gear after having a bad start.
The Vts and SRi are so close on paper, its just down to the situation as to who will win, makes it exciting tho!
But i just think to myself, yeah you may be a little quicker and it handles better, but i know which car i would rather have an accident in, and i know which car has the nicer interior, and which has better spec, and also that if you add one person to the saxo it soon slows!

I might be one of the few that dont like the exclusiv?
I dont like the wheels, prefer the SRi's.
I dont like the wing mirrors again the Sxi
Dont like the front lip spoiler, looks stuck on! and tacky, and i aint a fan of full leather. Just sticks to your skin.
I do love the airdam tho! and the sideskirts.
What i wanna do with mine, is get the airdam, sideskirts and half leather stuff from an sxi +

Slugger totally agree mate.
The Saxo/GTi are not very comfy motorway cruisers either, they get blown all over the place.

In saying that tho, the 1.8 SRi does rev quite high when going down the motorway, because of the short gearing.
Doesnt get too blown around which is good and if your doing the speed limit it makes no difference.

i know, i was doin 80 on motorway when wigan were playin utd at cardiff. got maself a nice fine and 3 points. so on motorways i do 70mph and thats it.
its them sly cameras
i think the novelty has worn off on my exclusiv, my bro in law works for vauxhall and he had the exclusiv and a silver 1.8
looks like i made the wrong decision
