1999 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking car that can't fail bring a smile to your lips"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong since the dealers fixed the faults that were present when I bought the car.
Front caliper seized, worn tires on front, faulty boot light, dodgy front wiper.
Sometimes the car won't start first time when warm.
Second time always OK.
General comments?
Good performance, but can struggle when in the wrong gear due to long ratios.
Handling is superb, you can really understeer with confidence, a roundabout has never been so much fun ;-) Can't wait till it's been lowered 40mm all round!
Steering is light and very precise.
Brakes are poor unless you really slam on the anchors.
Good build quality and great looks.
