sherman tank?
or if you want a small car how about a KA or sport Ka? i love mine. cheaper to run and insure than the 106gti and still a 1.6.

driven a saxo vts so im guessing they are pretty much identical to a 106 gti? anyway the if your over 6ft tall and have feet bigger than size 10 then u will find they are awkward to drive, pedals are far too close and the gear stick feels like stiring a wooden spoon in a big pot, overall i found that sitting in the vts feeling like a 1.1, 1.1 build quality and feel

and a mid 90s corolla or carina E would be a good a to b car for the winter

the 106gti pulls well especially after 80 mph , not the quickest car off the mark but well equiped with half suede seats and decent build quality.

big insurance though ,best giong for a seat arosa gti, if you can find one , amazing to drive and good for 120mph were permisable:D, cheap version of the vw lupo gti, lupo meaning wolf, because thats what they are a wolf in sheeps clothing
