I bought one of these brand new in 1999. The beginning of the reg was T560 and it was green. Came with free insurance from the dealer (part of the reason I bought it). Was a brilliant car and this video brought back lots of memories!!
Great to hear, I know the free insurance enticed many into the car of all variants although the VTS didn't get the same treatment which is why I assume there's so many more VTRs around!
Great little sporty car. Are the pedals easy to operate, I seem to remember they are quite small and close together which my big feet would have trouble pressing the right one.
They are indeed, I can imagine they would be difficult for some due to their size and how close they sit to one another - very similar to the AX before it
I really want a Peugeot 106 for my first car! I prefer the front end over the Saxo. And a base model. I would much rather have my dream car than something more modern with more bells and whistles. I have always thought they were absolutely stunning, I hear they are a treat to drive
@@fcubeboy4959 Generally really good. Considering the fact that I bought if for 200 USD it was amazing. It was the 1.1 44kW engine which was good on petrol and powerful enough for city driving. 3 door version with power windows and a sunroof so it even came with some options. No AC though and of course the rear axle was shot haha. I loved the turquoise blue color the most though. Sadly I crashed it and due to some major rust on the frame rails decided its not worth fixing.
Probably a stupid question but is it 1.4 or 1.6? I tink the vtr came in both? The 1.6 been a 8 valve and then the vts was the 1.6 16v, same as the 106 Gti?
It's surprising how close the pedals are in cars like the Saxo and especially the 106! AX is fairly close but I remember the 106 I drove being seemingly closer... as you say the Saxo is great though, so much fun to drive!
@@OGCars yeah I tried a 106 Gti and couldn't get along with the pedal box either.. thankfully I settled on a Clio 172 Cup for my French hot hatch which had normal sized spacing.
@@richardcarne753 no, you don’t legally have to have a rear wiper, plenty don’t have them from standard even now - mot doesn’t cover rear wash wipe whatsoever 😁
