1999 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"Great little run about"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airbag Light kept comming on every now and then.
Power-steering motor stopped working due to a faulty wire.
Oil light tends to come on for a while after long journeys and then restarting.
Sunroof leaked. just fiddled with the seal and is now fine.
3rd brake light started rattling so I took it apart and found cracks around the areas where the screws go, was fixed with super glue.
The rear of the car was completely smashed in thanks to a lorry. Car was twisted, but was thankfully restored.
Continuously gets bumped in car parks by big 4x4s and people carriers as it's a rather low car.
Highly targeted car for thieves to break into and yes we have had a lovely screw driver stuck into the locks and CD player was taken.
General comments?
Rubbish speakers!!!
Noisy on the motorway when you take the parcel shelf out.
I have been told that you can take this thing round a roundabout at over 50 mph.
Basic Dashboard, but still nice.
Passenger seat is stiff so it's rather annoying when you have passengers and you need to bring the seat forward to let them out.
Metal wires in the boots seal rusted and caused for the boot to fill up with water.
Nice little car apart from the boy racers ruin them!!! with their cheap looking body kits.
