My bros VTR isnt bad but a tad unpredictable on the limit.
Has to be the Focus I give my mums ST170 death and for the size of the car it is spot on...predictable and holds the road like glue

To be honest everyone raves about how the 106/Saxo handles soo brilliantly...to me its an overhype...driven both endless times and found a 172 to be far better and I even find my corsa more predictable on the limit.

iv never driven a clio but iv hyeard good things but iv owned 2 corsas and 2 vtrs and the vtr is by far in my opinion such a nice car to drive, so much fun. used to just chuck it into roundabouts and kick it round them and had so much control over the saxo. absolutly amazin handling cars imo

The best handling car i have driven either my civic down 50mm on G-Max with 17" felt like it was on rails, or my recently departed Fabia Vrs 25mm Eibachs standard rims went like fook and never lost grip on the bends

Does a Formula Student race car count?? This thing was fast and it stuck to the track, was amazing! It was like a go kart with a hundred times more grip and 150bhp

I love the way saxos handle, but my mate has a R1 engined Mini and that thing handles.

Hmmm, torn between a 928 S4 GT and my Turbo.
928 is gracefull and can be pushed safely in the wet or the dry and is a pleasure, but my car swaps lanes at speed like a computer game and corners almost completely flat.
Reason being, matched Koni springs and adjustables, Turbo Technics alloy front crossmember with drop arms and rose jointed tie bars, Power Flex bushes all round, Ford RS quick rack, good tyres.
Also, comes out of a dry roundabout like nothing i've ever driven - is hopeless in the wet though nothing but wheelspin and understeer on boost - yuk.
If it was a car that i'd been out in but not driven it would again be a toss up between the full house Hathaway Racing Escort Cosworth with water injection and the international spec 6R4.
Both were breathtaking.

Has to be my mates old 106 GTi for me. Was lowered 50mm on 15s and handled awesome!
Driven a few standard Saxos and TBH I think my Corsa on uprated suspension handles better Prob a different ball game once the Saxo has uprated suspension though, expect it would be similar to my mates GTi...
