1999 Citroen Saxo Westcoast review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious yet... touch wood, however the internal wing mirror casing has come loose - but then again it is only pushed on - also the handles above the rear mirrors have unscrewed themselves a couple of times - I have two reasons for this 1)I go hard round the corners and my friend who often sits in the back weighs 14 stone 2)it's a Citroen not a BMW (build quality) - it was cheap after all.
The gearbox was making a bit of a noise when it went into reverse, but has calmed down.
The front right indicator has got condensation in it.
General comments?
A really good buy. I am 17 and they gave me free insurance.
It comes with a sexy Blaupunkt CD player, disconnected rear speakers and added 6 by 9's - sound is now excellent.
THE BOOK TIME SAYS 0-62mph 11.2 seconds - I have done it in 9.7 so the car is faster than you may initially think.
If you have enough money - get a VTS - it will make you climax. If you want a more budget option, yet equally as fun to drive - get a Westcoast.
