General comments?
The Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6i was my first car. It's a nice car to look at; sporty, nice big alloys, smart little exhaust pipe, everything I wanted really, but I regret the day I ever bought it! Constant problems after problems. The main one for me is the constant electrical fault. I've had problems with since I've bought it!!
Yes this car is quick and handles reasonably well, and the pull between gears is great, the engine also has a great sound. Wish I could say the same for the rest of it.
