2000 Citroen Saxo VTS review from UK and Ireland
"The ultimate hatchback"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
People say there is not much driving space in the saxo, and that the pedals are too close together, I have to say I'm 6ft 4inches and have size 13 feet, and I can drive it no problem.
Standard exhaust rusted very quickly.
Too many people have one.
General comments?
This car is a quick little run-a-round, decent as standard and easily modified into a little beast. If your planning on lowering any saxo, make sure you get it done properly, otherwise your gonna end up with creaks and squeaks everywhere. If you do decide to lower it, its like a go-kart you can throw 'em round corners and believe me they will stick, I can go round the island at the bottom of my street doin just over 60 and its awesome. the thing that makes this car so rapid is its weight it weighs 990pounds standard (less than a tonne). They are easily modified into flying machines and if modded correctly, will rinse some cars you wouldn't dream of racing. Mods I've done to mine are:
Piper Cams
Pipercross induction kit
ECU Superchip
Powerflow exhaust full system
Sports manifold
and my favourite mod so far by a mile is my Supercharger, it not only makes the car a 200bhp go-kart it sounds like a dream when its screamin its boll*cks off.
