1999 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"A superb little car for the money and insurance grouping"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaky sunroof, coil pack.
General comments?
The car is a nice drive.
It handles well, even on the limit.
Goes OK as standard, but much, much better with exhaust, de-cat and induction kit.
Looks the business with a few mods like lowering and nice wheels.
Unfortunately has a bad image from young yobs driving on free Citroen insurance. It also suffers from "little brother syndrome" against the 16v VTS.
