Yes, the VTS is getting very close to Polo GTi territory. How much difference is there size wise between the Fiesta, the C2 and the Polo GTi?
If you're young the insurance price could be the deciding factor. Turbo = $$$

Insurance is no huge issue anymore. i have a good driving record and a very very good no claim bonus.
However i will be calling my insurance company tommorow to check what they can do for me. PS Sensodrive C2 is a bag of horse do do

For insurance try doing an online quote through www.ing.com.au just follow the links through to their insurance page. They're underwritten by CGU but have some better clauses like choice of own repairer and better new car replacement if written off (it was better for us anyway ;) )
We're only paying $31 per month for a brand new Mazda 6!

Nice work Mitch! Can't wait to be behind you... with you trying to shake me :P
Btw, Ok some stats for you all. $23,990. 1.6L DOHC Switchable ESP! Fuel Consumption - 6.9L/100km/h (ADR) 90kW @ 6500rpm 143Nm @ 3750rpm Kerb mass (kg) 1045 Acceleration - 0-100km/h (secs) 8.3 Rim Size 6.0x16 (wears 195/45 R16s Michelin Pilot Exaltos which are expensive... same as my 182 Cup!) Front - diameter (mm) 266 Rear - diameter (mm) 247 Sounds like a fun car to me!

C2 is smaller than the Fez or Polo. I took a Polo for a spin when I was looking at cars, it pulled like a schoolboy. Handles like a Fez but with more power. I'd have really liked a red one but just couldn't go that high. A German tuner is getting 300bhp out of a polo, ESP would be handy.

http://www.citroen.com.au/cms/defaul...article&ID=643 specs for the VTS are on the Citroen website. Interestingly it gets more power than the VTR, up to 90kW.

I was with my mate yesterday when we heard one fly past. I'm hoping it had a pod filter or exhaust, as it sounded horn!
