   Hi,
   
   Im kinda new to the Saxo scene (and loving it)..!
   
   I had a 1.2 corsa for years, and ive recently bought a 1999 VTS off my bro, and dont know a lot about the engine tbh.. apart from the saxo is a wee tiny bit faster lol
   
   Whats the main differences in a VTS and a VTR?
   
   Sorry if this is a silly question
   
   Thanks

   I'll start here, probs miss something but anyway...
   VTS is 16v engine, the VTR is only 8v - both are 1.6.
   The two have different interiors.
   They also have different style alloys.
   
   That;s all I can remember at the mo.
   
   Oh, and welcome to Sax-p!

   the vtr is the one to get, the vts is twice as high on insurance and because it has a 16v engine its heavier and doesnt handle as well, and the vts isnt as reliable.

   lol lets be honest here.. if i could afford a vts i would have one in a second BUT i cant and tbh there is not a massive amount of difference but still extra bhp is always a bonus
