      My VTS is around 40 mpg when I drive it normally, but driving like that on the video is around 20.

      Plamen M I’d get mid 40s sitting at 80-85 on the motorway, 35 to 40 on a back road blast. I was honestly shocked at how little fuel it would drink. I once owned a bog standard 1.6i Renault Scenic that would struggle to get in the 20s on a city run 🤣🤣🤣

    Fun car, had a silver vts by myself. Stiff as hell and cheap nasty plastics on the inside, but i loved it. Until the wiring corroded away and snapped for the ecu due to water, that was the end of that car.

    I have a c2 vts. I think it is a very fun vehicle, even though it is not as quick as a Saxo VTS. I can play with most vehicles in traffic. The advantage over Saxo is, in my opinion, primarily safety and better chassis structure. I have almost never used such a rigid vehicle on a budget. It has a chassis like a pile. By the way, did I mention it was fun? It's a really fun vehicle. :) It has been over 3 years since I bought it and I have 260000 kilometers in total.

    Great video guys. I gotta ask, where did you get the rear window sticker? That would look right at home in my current C2 which, compared to the Saxo, is quite a step back in terms of everything...

    I just bought one of these cheap, used to own a Saxo years ago and I can say I was kinda disappointed with the c2 it felt pretty slow for the size of the car and didn’t handle very well. Maybe I have a rose tinted view of the Saxo but I remember them being a fair bit quicker and better handling.

    • @rowanlewisuk
      @rowanlewisuk  4 роки тому

      I found the c2 more stable, but its much heavier with the same or a bit less power due to emissions changes. The 106 and saxo were special

    Bounced mine off the limiter in 5th, downhill on the bahn.. 129 on the speedo although I'd imagine it's closer to 125 gps. Been a cracking first car, only let me down once when the inlet wiggled loose (common problem on the VTS). Loads of motorsport parts as it was used in the Junior WRC. You do have to rag it, but when you do it performs very well. Gives a lot of people a surprise at the lights in the merge lanes. Very capable motor when built, 200+ hp at the wheels. £6.5k engine build though. In some ways cheaper than getting a newer fast hatch, and in some ways more enjoyable than a boring pops and bangs mapped fiesta ST which you see everywhere.

      @@rowanlewisuk Bit late (was on holiday) but just had a watch through it all. Really considering boosting it now with a TD04 also. Only problem I think I might have is with the electric throttle, can the me221 handle that from your memory? or am I gonna have to get a mechanical pedal + throttle body? I snapped my cambelt a couple days ago and currently swapping the heads with another engine I bought so got a bit of a backup parts wise there, and my cylinder walls are in top notch for the mileage. Valves barely touched the pistons as well thankfully (bent 50% of them about 5 degrees). So thinking of going ahead with it after a bit of saving
