1998 Citroen Saxo VTS review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in wolf's clothing.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a few problems with the car. The common documented power steering knock, dodgy squealing fan belt, and a damaged radiator. All these were fixed easily, the only problem that was unforunate was a faulty door seal which allowed water into the car, which took a couple of days at a dealer to dry out and clean up.
General comments?
Fastest car I have ever owned, but economic too. I owned my car under a work lease so I did a fair bit of mileage, averaged 38mpg most of the time, this dropped a fair bit when you had fun with the car. A good car for pottering around in, and equally as happy thundering down the motorway or backroads. I wish I'd never let the car go at the end of the lease.
Such a good car that it could show up many a "hot hatch" on your favourite stretch of back road, from an Impreza to an Integra Type-R (I should know). :)
