1997 Citroen Saxo VTS review from UK and Ireland
"Handles well, fairly quick, but lacks quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine cuts out from time to time when at idle and having had it checked, the dealers said it was fine?
Annoying rattle from the drivers door when closed, corrected by adjusting the door but seems to come back after a short time.
During winter, water residue on dash dials, but soon clears.
General comments?
Not a bad car, had no major problems with it. Seems to use a lot of petrol, but then that maybe down to my driving.
I am a police officer and being an advanced driver get to drive a lot of cars and would say the VTS handles as well as any of them.
Proviously had a 1.6 coupe (tomcat), and would say was probably as quick as the VTS and the interior seemed a better build quality.
