106's are far better looking cars. a lot less chav appeal to them than saxo's.

Wouldnt bother with a quicksilver.

I went from a 1.2 Nova to a quicksilver and to be honest the nova was a far better car!

Gearbox's
Noisy Engine's
clutches
Brakes are horrific. My nova had better standard brakes and they werent even servo assisted

106 over a saxo imo, the quicksilvers have a good interior

Would prefer the quicksilver over the equivelent saxo model, I dont like the styling or interior of saxos. Only problem is that the quicksilver is exceedingly slow, bare minimum 106/saxo I would have is a 1.4 XSI.

If you're looking at quicksilver sort of spec level I'd go for the 106. The interiors in the lower spec saxos are minging!

Its true people are saying about the brakes. Christ I thought someone had cut the lines on my 106 when I first got in it

Aye, base spec brakes are pretty hellish, need GTI/VTS brakes at least. 306 GTi6 brakes are a great upgrade though, or 406 coupe brembo 4 pots if you want to splash out.

I would take a vtr over a quick silver for the preformance gain. Insurance shouldnt be too different.

Agree that the quicksilver is the better looking though

Although saxo will get you more car per £

I wouldn't bother with a Saxo/106 unless it was an XSi/Rallye/VTS/GTi.

106s cost more for no reason.

MK2 Saxo >>> 106.

Also, the 106 equivalent of the VTR (called XS) looks like a 1.1 so shit.

No.

XSI is S1, and have a Rallye engine, 105bhp iirc. (the 1.6 model not 1.4)

XS is S2 and has the same engine as a VTR (90 bhp).

I was thinking more in terms of it being a sportier model as is the VTR but neither being the top model.
