1999 Citroen Saxo VTS from UK and Ireland - Comments

Clutch Cable

Brakes

Can't put car in full lock (Due to being lowered)

Worn gear-box housing.

A fantastic car to drive, excellent performance, but things went wrong all the time!

Out of all the cars I have owned this was without doubt the most expensive to fix, so I sold it 2 my mate as quickly as possible!

I recommend driving one for the sheer fun, but I wouldn't buy another one!!!

If I were your mate id look for another one as soon as possible as well. Nice of you to sell your dodgy car to him..NOT.

Or you could just get a decent car. i. e a japanese one (honda civic maybe?)

I agree with the unreliable bit! I bought my VTS 3 months ago and since the day I picked it up from the garage Iv had nothing, but problems! The trouble is that I love it too much to sell it!

Could you write that again, IN ENGLISH please, I can't understand stupid phone text lingo.

Ditto.

To the man who's Saxo cut out numerous times, I find your experience hilarious. I could imagine you jumping all over the car (and rightfully so). Next time mate when you buy a car read the reviews on this website.

Saxo's arn't that bad. You have to drive them sensibly if you want them to last. I've had a few minor problems with mine over 2 years, and I've fixed those problems myself. Passes MOT first time and starts first time. But of course there is that risk factor when you buy a citroen I suppose, it is more likely to go wrong than a japanese car. I have a VTR so I really can't comment on the VTS, but I have heard that the VTS engine is prone to having issues. 120BHP from a 1.6 is easy to get these days, but the engine in the VTS is an aging unit.

On the plus side the VTR is a quick car, it handles very well and looks good too.
