2002 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland

The only problem I've had with the car is the mud flaps the garage fitted had to be taken off as they rubbed going round corners and when hitting bumps.

Apart from that the car runs like a dream.

The car is great, no wonder its sold more than any other small hatch. Its quick off the mark and pulls in high rev's even though its only an 8 valve.

Its quicker than my mates Fiesta Zetec 1.6 and leaves most other small cars for dead.

The inside grows on you, and is plain yet looks great.

The seats are good although being 6 foot 2 there is little head room. People complain about the pedal position although I got used to it and don't even notice now.

I love the look of the car, and there are many performance parts avalible should anyone want them.

For £9500 its very good for the money. Compare it to all the other cars you can get for the money.

When parts do run out they are bound to be cheap as theres so many of us Saxo lovers out there.

Its not German build quality or the many gadgets of Japanese cars, but for the cash its the best car I could imagine driving.
