really? i always thought that the 106 was slightly better tuned than the Saxo, isnt the suspension better on the 106?

savo vts is an insurance group higher or something as the 106 was tested with a passenger, full tank of fuel and luggage.

i think the vts is cheaper to buy aswell, but as everyone has said yes they are the same car

vts is cheaper to buy yes, i think thats partly down to image. Not because its any less of a car. Although the interior of the 106 with half leather alacantra is probably a bit better than the vts's

The Only thing that is different is the Gearboxs thats all i know think the Vts one is a Close Ratio Box So tops out quicker than the 106 gti does....

Same box, same engine, for all intend & purpose they're the same car.

Saxo has a more modern looking dash and the Pug badge attracts a slightly higher price.

So take your pick.

My personal opinion is the 106 has the nicer interior and slightly better image.
But they are the same car

I dissagree, The saxo has the better interior, the 106 GTis look a little dated, 106 GTis gear knob is cool though

back can be a handful on mine when its wet and Im being a dick.

Its is a hard desision to make though, Id probably take the saxo

the saxo interior may have a slightly more modern dash... but as for the seats etc, god awful. i would never buy a saxo purely because of the hideous interior

106 gti is much more desirable and better looking in my opinion

same gearboxes just down to different cars/different mods etc as to wy that happened.

when i raced side by side with my mate both 106 gtis, he had an open cone i had a sealed induction kit, he used to pull on me in 2nd but i made it back up in 3rd, both gearboxes are the same, any differences will be due to other factors like mods and different production tolerances
