I bought a 2001 phase 2/MK2 VTR last year. Had it modded, remapped, lots more and love it! It's mint for its age!

I am an owner of a Saxo VTS 16v since 2006! I love this car

The Citroën Saxo is the best car ever built! Breakdowns are very rare and the comfort is high.

Love this quality content from Europe and true enthusiasts! keep going guys!

Great video! I have a 1.1i Asics from 2001. Not the sportiest... But back then, and still today... 60HP on that weight makes it go rather nippy! The chassis is pretty much identical to that of the sport models and therefore, if you do nothing but fit some alloy's with a little wider and lower profile tires on it like I have, it is absolutely no less fun in corners! (14" and not too wide, don't forget it does not have the widened wheel arches) It puts a lot of modern cars to shame in corners! I would go for a 16V if I wouldn't spend all my money on the 1989 BX 19 TRI that I have as well... So if you need to go cheap... I paid €400,- for my Saxo in pretty good condition, it has done just about 280.000KM now, with very little maintenance so far, and even less to come... and I am absolutely convinced, you cannot buy a car today, for less than 500 euro's, except a 106, that offers this combination of handling and comfort... And is this much fun to drive... It really has a character, and I drive it with as much pleasure as I drive my BX. Though be it for different reasons ;-P

Just love that body kit on VTS mark2. At the moment I'm building a Saxo 1,4 VTS version for budget close wheele challenge. Looking forward to have some fun on the track together with a bunch of randome drivers and cars!

Great video like always ! The Saxo is a great little car and like you said she so close to the 205 gti spirit . It's a shame that Citroen do not keep that sport spirit in there cars today . For me the last car they made that's worth talking about is the C2 vts after they screw up ! Ds3 with a bwm motor ???? And with all the problems that it had . In France the only car brand that's is really in to making sport cars today is Renault . Yep Sebastien Loeb and Citroen but naf all for the customers . Sorry but i'm pissed off with french car brands that forget what made them famous 205 gti , ax sport , bx sport , visa mille piste ......... And today they do nothing to keep that little flame alive . I really regret the 90's . But love your videos

Meteen na deze video geabonneerd! Wat een kwaliteit, genieten om naar te kijken!!

Nice video! Proud dutch owner of saxo ph1 with the lowest 1.6 8v engine (89hp 135nm from 99), own the car for almost 2 years now, still in love, car will go soon on the dyno because the guesses are it will reach ofer the 100hp, to confirm it ofc it will get on the dyno, The reason why the saxo is faster than the 106 to the 100 is because Citroën wanted to beat the 106gti acceleration, The 106 is lighter than a saxo in general, Citroën wanted to beat the 106 GTI and went for a gearbox that could go in second 100, just to beat the 106GTI, the 106GTi loses his time to shift from 2nd to 3rd just to reach 100. (correct me if im wrong) this is what i heard and actually can confirm, my 8v gearbox cracked, have now a 106 GTI gearbox on my saxo 8v, i can confirm the gearbox is shorter than my usual 8v box! I am a dutchie to, if your intrested in my Saxo let me know! Would love to see my Car on your channel!

Great! Happy to see another video, looks like a really fun 90s hatch, would be cool to see it against a clio 16s or williams. In my mind the coolest 90s hatch, jean ragnotti clio rally videos are the best.

Sick video about this little awesome car! My uncle just got one and he's going to restore it, 167k kms on the clock 😁 Oh and in Portugal the 16V VTS is called the Saxo Cup !

Greta video, very tempted to get one of these in the coming weeks!

The reason for the difference in performance stats is that the 106gti was measured with more weight on board, e.g., fluids, full tank of fuel etc I believe

Still owner of mk2 vts ✌

I wasn't disappointed!

Where is this guy now. Amazing man

As I understand it, the difference between the 106 GTi and Saxo VTS' acceleration times was purely down the way the tests were conducted. Citroen gave it hell for leather in the tests, as they wanted a mid-7's 0-60mph time (they actually stated 7.2secs to 60mph, but 7.7 to 100km/h (62mph), as that's when the change into third gear happens. As a result, the VTS had quite a high insurance rating in the UK (group 14), despite the fact that 'VTS' didn't really carry any issues with insurance companies. Peugeot, on the other hand, had opted to label their car a GTi (Citroen could have done this too, as they had previously used 'GTi' many times, but chose VTS anyway). Because a 'GTi' would carry an higher insurance risk, due to the issues with thefts or accidents in the 1990's, I've read that Peugeot made three changes from Citroen's tests. Firstly, they did the tests with a full tank of fuel, not half like Citroen. Secondly, they had a passenger, unlike Citroen. Thirdly (and crucially), they changed into 3rd gear BEFORE 60mph. Being that a gearchange can lose you anywhere between 0.5-0.75secs on a 0-60mph dash, it would easily be enough to add up to a second to the Saxo's time. And it worked, because despite the fact it was labelled as a GTi, the insurance rating was actually LOWER for the 106 than the Saxo VTS! The reality is that they're all the same in performance terms. Same gear ratios and engines etc. Only differences are trivial, like anti-roll bar diameters, dampers and interior specification (106 is marginally heavier, as it uses slightly heavier, better quality materials in the cabin). I can't tell you that's all fact, but that's what I've read from various sources, and it makes sense, because all Peugeot's cars in the 1990's achieved very low insurance group ratings. I remember the 306 1.9 DTurbo was only group 5 - same as a 1.1 Citroen AX!

het verschil tussen de 106 gti en de saxo vts kwa acceleratie zit hem in de versnellingsbak de saxo vts heeft een langere 2e versnelling als de 106.

Great channel! Looking forward to new videos. Greetings from Germany

Wat een geweldige kwaliteit weer! Een tip voor de volgende keer is om het volume van de muziek iets lager te zetten.

I bought two from new, loved them. Drop them 60mm bk 45 front (i think..) green induction kit Oz rims and a straight through stainless. I miss the flames coming out of the bk when dropping down at roundabouts. Fun times.

Hahaha.. great video as usual mate.. You always manage to capture the cars souls... Too bad here in Indonesia we don't received any Saxo.. the last Citroen here was the BX... Which is I love them very much.. ( I own several of that brand.. BX 16 TRS, BX 19 GTi, BX Sport Replica , BX Break TGS, CX Pallas Mk 1, GSA Pallas and GSA Break.. ) Well.. in my opinion Citroen have better aerodynamic, better weight saving ( they have known use a fiberglass and plastic materials in their body components.. ), better gearbox, better technology and also I believed Citroen traction better ( if I use Michelin tyre are far better than Peugeot 405 SRi compare to my BX 19 GTi in a drag race situation )

great....very very great..!!!!!!

Apparently the faster 0-60 time of the Saxo vts over the 106 GTI is due to the Saxo having a very tall 2nd gear - so no need to change up to 3rd to hit 60 (mph).

quality content as usual

Great video man!

The difference between Saxo 16v and 106 16v are 3: - Saxo has tires 195/45 r15 with a lower rolling than 185/55 r14 of the 106; Better traction! - rear anti-roll bar in diameter: Saxo 21mm and 106 22.5mm (to compensate for the difference of tires) - Saxo is lighter

Nice video!

i love the sound of the exausts, does anybody knows what exaust is?

Nice video.

The Saxo has a high 2nd gear therefore it gets to 60 at the redline of 2nd unlike the 106 that hit 60 at the mid range of 3rd

Cool vidéo, i like to drive my saxo 16v every day. And the parts are not expensives. I keep a saxo 16v 80k km for the value. I think to buy a 106 gti but no place unfortunately.

Hi, where did you find the video archives of the cup ? By the way nice video

2:31 ❤

Heb net een 16V gekocht met 212000 km heerlijk bakkie.

"we don't have budget for that" yeah right that's convenient so you get to drive it :P

Ik heb een Saxo 16v gehad. (Nieuw gekocht en verkocht bij een km stand van 226k kilometer) ik herinner mij dat je met de saxo de 100 kon halen in z’n 2 en dat dit met de 106 alleen in z’n 3 kon. Dat maakte het verschil. In de praktijk niet echt vastgesteld.

The difference between 106 s16 and Saxo is only on paper. There is difference in CO2 emission but in real life it depends of how fast you drive and on which gear ;)

Hello if I am not wrong a Saxo is 70 to 80kg lighter than a 106. But however, a friend of mine had a 106 gti and stock it was definitely faster than 8,5sec to 100. 0 to 100 times on french cars are sometimes wrong.

I dont understand why this car never apears on racing games, apart from GT2.

Waarom niet in het Nederlands en Engels ondertiteling.

The sunroof on the phase 1 saxo (silver) does it open all the way back like the phase 2?

Nice! What about a xsara vts edition?
