VTS all round beter car and with simple mods such as a full exhaust, airfiler and decat you'll be running in the 14's

To get a Corsa X16xe anywhere near this level of perfomance will cost £££.

Its all down to personal preference at the end of the day but it also depends on what you want to achieve?

just looked at both on autotrader,the crx seem expensive for an old car and could need a lot of money spending on,the vts seem newer and probably need less spending on

Cheap power, but the worse headache you will ever get!

Xe's come with problems, no conversion is 100%

I had a Saxo and I cant say Id have another, not interested how well they handle, how fast they are ect, they feel dangerous at speed imo

yes they handle well theres no denying that but they are very twitchy

VTS with twin airbags has no storage area for the driver!

Just little shitty nets
