I loved my Saxo VTS. It had a surprise factor in the corners. Very fast, nimble and a fun car to drive. I miss it everyday.

I miss my blue VTS

I watched this in 2009 when I picked up my black 172, and now in 2017 I'm picking up a white 200.....and some of you clowns are still saying this is fifth gear.

una bomba! ;)

I have a Saxo VTS for sale on eBay with low miles... Item no 201464413907

fifth gear mate

Just sold my VTS and brought a 182 cup, Both cars are great in their own ways Saxo was quicker in the corners but the 182 is quicker in the straights and has far better build quality and interior toys ect. . . Still I dont have a bad word to say about the VTS it was a fun car.

120bhp against 172 and still keeping up..

Was the one in the Clio Richard Hammond back in the day?

yes

vts is gay clio ftw i know clio has more horsepower but the saxo is lighter and that better for handling give them both the same horsepower or weight and i know fpor sure the clio would win thanks to his chassis

It can stick to a 1998 wrx on a short track ;)

I've just bought a minter for a runaround actually :)

May have the power on the straights but still she has a fucking mahoooooosive fat mouth

5th gear, not top gear you dumbass

and I suppose you think a CTR will wipe the floor with anything with 30bhp less?

There's just no teaching some people

once something is on the move there isnt much in it. look up what a WRX bhp/ton is.

the saxo is more like 128 bhp/ton your supposed to divide the weight of the car in kg buy 1000 kg (a ton) in this case 935 kg divided by 1000 kg = 0.935 this gives you your cars metric ton you then divide your bhp 120 by the metric ton 0.935 which gives you 128 bhp/ton and a clio sticking to a scooby wtf

what the fuck are you talking about your in a world of your own

FUCK OFF anything yeah right lol

clio is a girls car where as every boy racer in history has driven a saxo vtr or vts at least once in their lives and also the citroen xsara vts is a very fast car too not as quick on 0 to 60 as a saxo but top speed is 145mph so faster than a saxo on a clear road but the saxo is the most fun on narrow country lanes

I had a 2004 clio sport 2.0 what a heap of rubbish im truly ashamed i ever owned this car.

The "BBC" watermark across the top of the screen is the giveaway that it's TopGear rather than 5th Gear. Easy mistake to make though since the two of them together are far better known for 5th Gear.

No, it's from the old/original Top Gear series. Tiff was one of the presenters of this series - search Wikipedia for 'Top Gear (1977 TV series)'. Fifth Gear is the car series aired on Channel 5 (now Discovery) and didn't start until 2002.

The full episode of this show featured various hot hatches including iirc a 306, Punto and Polo GT. Each presenter chose their favourite for a race.

I've owned both of these. I replaced my 2000 VTS with a 2003 mk2 172. Clio is definitely quicker is straight line and still has grunt mid range where the Saxo starts to suffer due to just being a 1.6. However, I'll always look back fondly on my VTS as it was like a go-kart for handling but overall the Clio wasa bit more grown up and had a bit more presence on the road. Each to their own really. Both cars I had were unmodified

quitate del medio que el saxo te pisa!!

..I am really enjoying this game, and I can see that it has alot of potential, I know it's just some project you did at your University, and that you probably didn't want it to be some big huge game, but if you put alot of effort, and get some people to help you, this could actually be very big. Right now i'm making a Fan-Trailer for it, though. I'm enjoying this game a bit too much. >_<

Can you post a video of your vts doing 147mph?

omg im, sooo hot for her

Why are peeps talking about Civic and co???....Pretty sure Vikki meant hottest SMALL hot-hatch...! 306 and Civics are great too but different size class!...

@SKnight2208 as i said man, i ent gotta lie, if ur anywhere near oxfordshire in the future and u find it that hard to believe then come and drive it yourself, im just under 11 stone, how much do you weigh mate?

@SKnight2208 daaamn boy!!!, u must have neon lights in the foot wells to be gettin that out of it!?!?!......bigger spoiler?!?!....writing on the windscreen?!?!?!!! lol, why are u doubting me bro?, i ent gotta lie?!

@WillJPalmer starlet glanza :)

I think it's fifth gear

the 1996-2003 Citroen Saxo/ Citroen Chanson was assembled in Aulnay-sous-Bois, France

i loved my lil saxo, was well fun 2 drive, just a cheap and simple pocket rocket.

why are people hatin on the vts?!, with a decat exhaust, good quality induction kit, uprated manifold, coilovers and a couple more minor mods u can stick 2 the back of clios all day. im just about to buy one from a friend and theirs not many cars that get away from him on windy roads, 0-60 in 6.3 and a top speed of 147 mph.....happy days!! :-)

@whoohaaXL I've been arguing this with kids on here for years, it's worse when they start trying to mock you for being wrong. Fucking Rems.

@scotty12347 unfortunatly youtube wont post any links, but if you google 'renault clio 172 100-0 braking' two of the links on the first page should be pistonheads. I've discovered it was a 2002 autocar review which got the figure of 3.99 seconds, but of course nothing is sacred and so its was sent to landfill after the dad got sick of it 'cluttering up' his loft?!?

without Jeremy, there is no such thing as top gear.

@scotty12347 It was autocar im sure who tested it as 3.99seconds 100-0 specifically referring to the non ABS 172 cup, however because of the reviews all being from 2002 non of the trustworthy sites still hold details, Evo seems to omit the 'table of figures' from its online group tests but pistonheads refers to it as braking in under 4 seconds from 100 also referances autocar when it does. the veryron weighs over 2 tons so even with 400mm brakes its not going to impress outright

@Testostrone250 No doubt both are good, the Saxo having a weight advantage but at higher speeds, the Clio will walk away. Plus, it's easier to follow on a track. And the Clio doesn't have 172bhp. Power isn't everything.

@jimjim150 RIP clio!

@theprodicalsonishere Lol at the mongaloids comment :P Yeah lift off oversteer is about the only thing that could catch you out with the Clio. But not if you have any sort of affinity for driving. And yeah had a good test of my brakes the other day on the motorway, shame the car behind was too close :( Au revoir Clio.

@AZ274 saxo has 100kgs less so in term of bhp/ton for -2kgs = +1bhp/ton so the saxo would have close to 160bhp/ton almost exactly the same as the clio. the clio in the video however should have massivly better brakes then the saxo they can stop from 100mph in 3.9seconds. they stop quicker then a veyron as standard. plus the clio is named 172 after it output in PS its 172PS or 168BHP. on the road or on the track bhp/ton is what counts hence the clio can stick to a scooby

@thaiboxer1232 the 306 gti rallae is closer to the clio then the saxo. 163 vs 169bhp not 50kgs between them and supposed to have a similar 'feel' on track, the ek9 and ep3 civic type Rs are id say a direct rival to the clio the v tec might give more higher up but have fuck all tourque so it evens out. only time a vtec has the 2.0 is over about 110mph, and that only ever integras too. rs megane direct comp for focus ST astra VXR and golf GTI

@rumble291 you must be a crap driver mate a clio is the easiest thing to hustle you only get into trouble with lift off oversteer but any FWD hot hatch/coupe will lift off oversteer just cos you aint got the skills to catch it dont blame the car. the pug 205gti put hundreds of mongaloids into hedges the clear up the road for the rest of us, the clios just taking over from the 205s civic duty.

@jimjim150, A saxo what? The problem with the Clio is when you get oversteer its so hard to get it straight again I know this as I've driven a Clio and oversteer is a nightmare besides the videos of Clio Sports on track just put me off. Don't get me wrong Clio Sports look lush but If I was on a track I'd much rather have a tuned VTS.
