2000 Citroen Saxo Forte review from UK and Ireland
"Good, cheap.. fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Full exhaust system replaced at 24,500 miles.
Rocker gasket failed at 20,000 miles.
General comments?
The car is very good, I find it comfortable and it handles soo well for a cheap car. Mine does not have power steering, but as it only weighs 805kg you get plenty of feedback from it, so it's not too bad.
The car does 0 - 60mph in 12 seconds flat and will pull 105mph.
The boot is average for its size really, bearing in mind it's based on the Pug 106 and Citroen AX, it is a old design and lacks the newer designs of "cubbie holes".
Fuel economy is good, can drop to 35mpg if pushed about in town, else it will return 45mpg on average and up to 50mpg on A / B roads.
