I bought my Citroen Saxo 1.1i east coast about 6months ago now. I find that it is great as a first car as it is very economical on fuel. Have tried investigating the 'light steering' problem, but have had no luck as yet. Is this due to a steering fault, or is it perfectly safe? My next car will be a VTR, as I am very impressed with Citroen Saxos, as I could do with a bit more power.

I have a few problems with my Saxo 1.1I Eastcoast.
The brake lights and reverse lights failed on their own, this could be to due to the fact I reversed into a car the other week! :( I had to replace the left hand side light casing, but the light and bulb holders are all okay as far as I can tell.
Going on to what someone else said about it being fast for a 1.1, I agree. Top notch as this is my first car!

I've had my Saxo 1.1i Eastcoast for almost 18 months. It's a brilliant little car. Very nippy from 20 up to 60/70. First gear is really weak so you've got to get the revs in the red to before you switch to second gear doing about twenty -ish for a speedy start at the lights. Be wary on the motorway, this car can change into a kite when attempting above 80, so keep a grip on that wheel, especially if the roads are a little wet. Just had my first MOT, everything OK except the front tires were a little bald.
