    Hi everyone.

    Im having a bit of a decision crisis! Ive had my heart set on a Saxo VTR for a while now and was planning to get one on my 18th birthday on the 14th of this month. However, ive just seen a 106 quiksilver in my area with alloys on and it looked gorgeous! I had forgotten about quiksilvers wen i decided i wanted a vtr!

    Ive just rang quinn direct and the quiksilver is slightly cheaper to insure aswell! I really want to know what their performance is like, does anyone no what the performance is like compared to a vtr?!

    I was wandering what your opinions are? (obvioulsy they might be slighlty biased towards the saxo! lol)

    Cheers :thumbup:

    quicksilver = 75bhp

    VTR = 90/98bhp

    I'd have the VTR

    quicky has an alloy block so a lighter front end. I've seen 150bhp from that engine in competition spec. Mad, expensive, but probably a lot of fun

    Personally I like the look of the 106.

    if its performance you're after then VTR is the better of the two.

    but for looks i do think the 106 has aged less than the sax

    On the deck with antricite rims and headlights then smoked rears would be an awesome start

    The 106 is the wagon of choice for 18 year olds around here who failed all there GCSEs and now work in phones for you.

    Neither is a beauty, neither is a beast. The VTR would be my choice as its the least slow
