2000 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"A great handling hatch!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had it long enough for anything to go wrong, touch wood, but my fan seems to kick in quite a bit. Even if I've only driven 5 minutes down the road the fan comes on and this is in cold weather - my dealer told me this is normal, but the fan then runs for about a good five to six minutes once the engine is off. I wouldn't mind if I was stuck in traffic.
A lot of rattles already.
General comments?
It's great to drive and sticks to the road like glue which makes you want to floor it round bends.
Smooth gear change, brakes feel a bit spongy but at 500 miles I'm safe in saying that they are not run in.
Make sure you get a Spear wheel lock, they can be a great steal.
