1999 Citroen Saxo East Coast review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Very reliable engine, no faults, no problems whatsoever. The 1.1 engine really picks up speed quick. I've surprised many bigger engined cars, including the VTR!!
Handling is OK.
The brakes are a bit crap; not like a Fiesta; those brakes stopped you dead straight away. NO ABS for the Saxo.
Interior is very nice looking with the blue dials and yellow gear knob, and very very comfy seats. The gear stick is very easy and smooth to get into gears, and the steering is lightish around town.
You get a Blaupunkt CD player as standard, which is alright. The back of the car is comfy and roomy, and girls never complain. The boot is pretty big.
Fuel is alright when driving normal, but when you floor it, it drinks the juice quick.
