I have a saxo vts (same car underneath) and had a corsa gsi before and much prefer the saxo 
What do you want from the car?

I loved mine. Great fun to drive and nippy.
Spent well over a grand maintaining it over the year of ownership which was the only downside.

a grand  Mine only cost just over that to buy
Parts are cheap though if anything does need doing. Mines only wanted a coil pack and a driveshaft in my ownership and I give it hell

Im a bit too tall for it, the pedals are a bit close together when your not used to them. Can feel a bit plasticy inside depending on what you are used to.
I would say just go and drive one for yourself and see what you think of them as everyone is different with different opinions

Early ones have the mouldings, later ones don't.
I think removing them is a pain as it leaves holes behind.

Just as fast upto three figures as my mates CTR, handles better (but thats a bit unfair as I have a diff and posh bilstiens ) although out the box I think they would be as good as each other. Cheaper to run and maintain.
Not as well built, not as much space inside, look like more of a chav.
But at the end of the day this car was only just over a grand. I sold the engine out of the civic and that paid for this complete car to put it into perspective
