1999 Citroen Saxo East Coast review from UK and Ireland
"Good bargain first or second car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fan belt snapped after a short time.
One of the rear light bulbs burned out.
General comments?
The car is very quick with good acceleration, particularly considering the engine size of just 1.1l.
The seat position could be a bit better, as the view of some of the dash board monitors is obscured. The general comfort of the drive is good however.
The all round exterior view is good, particularly when reversing. The car handles well in adverse weather conditions.
Fuel consumption is very good, as is handling. The window washer capacity is awesome!
