i never push my 106 in the wet, its lethal, would be fun on a track in the wet as you can fully control the oversteer but not on the roads

no doubt the polo is built better, i was just saying that you WILL have problems with both eventually.

Cupra Steve, you appear to be asking for ur 106 to break, giving it grief will only result in a 106 breaking

my brothers a mechanic so i have no worries, i didn't buy it to be worried about breaking it, i brought it to have fun, my brother rebuilt my engine in my old one 3 times, changed the gearbox, and put 2 new clutches in, that was the most fun car i've ever owned!!

I dont believe for a second a 106 will cost 10k in repairs 
My mates had 2 saxo's, they were both alright & never threw up any problems!!
