1999 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"The Saxo VTR is the definitive hot hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear brake discs had to be replaced after a few thousand miles due to very bad "scoring", but that is the only problem I have had.
General comments?
People who have reviewed the Saxo VTR say it is tinny, noisy, uncomfortable and not very well built, they have a point. But they seem to forget that the people who are going to buy this car don't care about a few creature comforts, we are bothered about the fantastic handling and an engine that loves to rev. The Saxo VTR is the best hot hatch in its league and indeed a lot better than some higher priced models I could mention.
