its only natural to be biased towards the car that you
and in the case of keydogg the car that your GF owns aswell.
So i imagine once my ST is sat nicely on my driveway, i will
argue that it is the best thing since sliced bread, but to be
honest i think that anyway just from the test drive
Up the boys!

TonyM - Glad to hear from someone who has had the comparison of the 2.

Don't you think though everything you just said is just down to the stiffness of the suspension? I agree the ST is probably easier to get on with when thrashing but part of me just thinks its because the saxo is slightly too soft. Everything else is perfect, the chassis, the balance, the weight and feedback of the steering, etc.



Thats exactly why the is a better handling car its been setup with racing suspension and it is unbelievable!

You probably can get the same effect with doing all the suspension mods to a saxo - BUT the was designed like that with those big wheels to work together HOWEVER if you do start lowering and stiffening the saxo you will more than likely get traction problems, tyres wearing and going bold on the inside (not worth the hassle)

I think that's a bit over the top! Well if i ever get the chance to lower mine with a decent Suspension kit im pretty confident it will out handle an ST (lowered or not) because of the responsiveness, lightness and balance of the VTS. It's the reason i own a Saxo, lets face it, it isn't for the image or respect on the road!

But like you say, as standard, the ST handles better, but won't turn quicker.

I can't wait for some B-Road thrashes with Budden =]
