1999 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"Pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The airbag light began a little disco revolution down a bumpy road but the dealers fixed that.
It needs tracking all the time because it hammers the front tyres, a new front pair are wearing after 3000 miles.
The gearbox squeaks between third and fourth, the garage has had a bash and failed, they'll be seeing me again.
It's currently having a new front end because a Skoda had the last one, the damage is estimated at £4000, I've noticed that a lot of the reviews mention some sort of crash, don't people like Saxos or something?
General comments?
Love the motor, best laugh I've had driving. All my mates are very jealous because they've got West Coasts. Superb performance and brilliant handling.
My only complaint is that it takes a while to get comfortable in the driving seat. If only it was faster than a Cavalier SRi.....
