1999 Citroen Saxo VTS review from UK and Ireland
"Great fun, but very expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Power steering cable worn through
2) Air bag light constantly flashed
3) Car cuts out when pulling up to lights
4) Clutch needed replacing.
General comments?
I wanted a little hot hatch and this fitted the bill. It is seriously fast and handled well, however it didn't feels safe going over 100mph. The car is fairly basic inside, but comfortable.
Great fun to drive however it cost an arm and a leg to fix when things went wrong. I promptly sold it to a mate. He still owns the car, its running well, but the air bag light is still flashing.
