Im not worried about the speed, would keep the 106 if that was the case. Just was thinking about keeping this but maybe will just trade it in for a BMW if i do part ex for it.

"I had a Saxo VTR which was a lot of fun, but suffered a problem or breakdown on an almost weekly basis. It was also appallingly built. The Zetec-S is much better quality"

also "This car handles very well. I have had six hot hatches, starting with an XR2 and including a Saxo VTR. This is easily the best handling, if not the quickest (that was a 5GT turbo) Performance can be improved relatively cheaply though.
Last car was a Saxo VTR and it's quicker than that with better build quality. Although about £1000 more new than a VTR these days."

why does every1 say the build quality is good on a zetec-s, its crap they are so plastic inside its unreal, just complete clip and push plastic panels no proper upholstery. my mrs sister has one tbh they are slow
my mrs was driving my previous 1.4 16v engine with filter/4-2-1/exhaust to mk cruise ages ago and a lad in front in a zetec-s was giving here some shit so my mrs revved mine like a bitch and she was in his boot right upto about 113mph down the A5, this shows they are no quicker than a heavier 1.4 16v with about 92-93 bhp, ummm shit if u ask me
very low geared in first aswell u hit the limiter at about 25mph in zetec-s

not a bad car the Zetec S. Loves to be reved. My mate had one. Better than any saxo 106 clio as the build quality is shite on french cars.
Cracking ride and not bad to look at.
You get electric windows leather steering wheel etc.
Air con is an option though and u don't get leather seats

I don't like my 106 no more  Strange you have a mental picture of a car and what it should be like then it dosn't live up to expectations
Trouble is i can't think of another car i want

Would also be getting it just so i can get rid of the 106. Will take anything TBH, but a 2 year old low millage car appeals. Wouldn't be a car that i would look to buy but nor was the 106
