1999 Citroen Saxo Westcoast review from UK and Ireland
"Reccomemded - ideal 1st car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension strut was knocking on the test drive I had, but was fixed under dealer warranty within 2 days.
General comments?
Very impressed with the car, its my first car and is used so no free insurance. But its only group 5!
Came with 'Westcoast' badges, Yellow balls or door pins, Yellow gearknob and pathetic wheel trims, but within a week changed gearknob, alloys and badges for VTR ones.
Interior is comfy, but not too keen on the blue and yellow interior so swapped the whole interior (front and rear seats and door bits) for a VTR interior so now looks like a VTR.
No boot spolier, but these can be easily fitted. Ideal first car!
Front disks are excellent and has back drums which I've had no problems with.
Swapped the blaupunkt single CD for a pioneer 6900r cassette and cd changer - much better!!
I had to search for 6 months to find a decent one because a lot of saxos have bad problems!!
