1999 Citroen Saxo VTS review from UK and Ireland
"Fastest hot hatch about"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burnt out alternator £100 replaced as soon as I got the car, faulty anti-lock brake sensor replaced after 1 month £75. Oil leak from head gasket, had the head stripped down, skimmed and new gasket £475. Water leak from Ariel.
General comments?
Other than the problems listed above (most were paid for by my rac warranty) the car is running great now. Performance is out of this world it red lines every gear change without any fuss and most other hot hatches will struggle keeping up. Handling is good, but not brilliant as are the brakes. Its comfy, quick, quiet and good on fuel, just be careful in the wet!!
