V or W plate

but you'd be better spending another grand on a 200SX if you were gonna buy one

erm... not sure what else... 106 GTi will be far too small for you

I've driven Saxo 1.1, 1.4 and 106 GTi and the pedals are all as close together as one another and cramped.

Pain in the arse to drive IMO

I'm not mega tall, 6ft with size 10 feet, quite wide feet though so could be a problem. Drove my mates Vts and pedals werent too bad.

Just time for a new car really, and like i said earlier they meant be alot of fun.

Just been looking and Gti's are really expensive compared to the quivelent Vts.

I know your payin for the exclusivity and handling but its quite a bit more

VTS is more exclusive than the GTi. Hardly any about compared to GTis.

Dont look as nice or have leather/alcantara like you get on later GTis. Both handle the same with them being basically the same car

GTi is more exclusive yes, but as far as I'm aware they handle the same.

Not at all. I'll sell the GTi for what I paid for it.
