Well, if all going according to plan, then at the beginning of January me girlfriend and I will be taking a trip down to the local Citroen garage to pick up our brand spanking new car.
The car in question is a Citroen C2 VTS 1.6i 16v. Speedy little thing, 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds, with sporty roll bars, ventilated brakes, close ratio gearbox, 16" suzuka alloy wheels with low profile high grip tires, etc etc.

Note: We've ordered a red one.
very nice :D
personally i would like a black 1 :P
on the subject of cars i passed my driving thoery on friday :D
Nice one :)
We would have had black. We bought the highest spec model the C2 offers, and they STILL wanted an extra £300 for black! Red was the only colour that was free :D

Just don't wash it for a while.......
Nice rig!
Nice choice Bob, keep the licence clean when you have it ;)
TL.
Nice choice, i've been looking at a C2 for some time now, my Saxo's taken a fair beating and it's about time to trade it in for a newer one.
One thing though, the bodywork, hmm, bugs me really, it looks much better after it's got a kit on it, hell, even the bodykit that citroen are offering looks much better.
For some reason, i've started to go off modern cars.

Well I'm led to believe the VTS model I'm getting has some sort of kit added to it, not totally sure though.
End of the day though, 0-60 in 8.3 seconds, I'll be having me some of that :)

I swear, i'm a geordie by birth!
Congs!
The C2 VTS should be a true joy! I've had some rides on the Saxo VTR, and if yours will iron the road half as good, well...
Did you know, however, that the main deference between the VTR / VTS of the Saxo was the manifold! You could easily almost even the power if you changed the VTR's manifold...
Anyhow, I am always a sucker for the good old 205GTI, but hey, that's because I'm over 30 :-)
Do well.
The C2 VTS has ESP or something. Helps you in corners to prevent over and understeer :D

So the other 8 valves don't count on the Paxo VTS? Shame it's made out of recycled pie dishes.

Of course they do :) it's just that they didn't make the big difference...
The C2 VTS is 16v, 125bhp, more than the Saxo VTS :D
nice car man I like it <_< :D

Thank you. I can't wait to pick it up in January! It has to easily be 10000000000x better than the Hyundai accent I drive at the moment!!!
Shame we can't get it here (Israel) yet. Not that I would have been able to purchase a new one, of course, we have above 100% tax ...
But I read about it a lot, and surely it will feel different than your Accent (who drives an Accent out of choice anyhow? besides my sister, of course :rolleyes: )
I also read that the the new C4 will have a very unsual steeringwheel. Ah, Peugeot - Citroen are the best (even if not as reliable as a Mazda/Toyota).
Drive carefully.
