1997 Citroen Saxo SX review from Israel
"Best for it's price, good work commuter"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat very uncomfortable, a small back pillow could help. Expected from a car 8 years on the road.
Air circulation unit apparently chronic issue in these cars, the gears grind and the unit stops working. Easy to set though in circulation mode.
Make sure they change your suspension to a quality one - it makes all the difference in the world (when time comes).
Annoying little electric problems which are easy to solve.
General comments?
Good car for such a low price. It's very economical at 15km/l average. Cheap maintenance. Got 3 adults in the car going a long steep uphill with a/c on at 90km/h on 4th gear. Can't get any other car these days at this price that has 2 airbags, original a/c, good comfort, power steering, economy and lots of power+handling.
