Very slow, and suffer all the same problems as other 106/saxos.
Bare minimum saxo I would get is a VTR.

Quicksilver is a better car if you can find one.

Slow, interiors aren't nice, VTR rep with a crappy powered engine basically.

slow in comparision but a bit quicker then a 1.4 corsa sport
Depends what you want and class as fast.
Although out the two I would take the corsa if there was a choice involved. Would have to be a VTR or S to make me put up with the interior etc
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

I thought they were about the same. Think the furio is about 15bhp down but is made of paper so makes up for it

My mates 1.4 used to dick all over another mates furio and quicksilvers also they just seem to feel slower.

I found my 1.4 sport was quicker than quicksilvers/furios etc, but a 1.4 sport isnt exactly fast in the first place.
Find a cheap quicksilver, give it a sheer beating untill it blows up, 16v it
