1999 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"Great value, high performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition block failed meaning that the car failed to start on a number of occasions, this also affected the heating system and made the car stall quite a lot. When contacted, Citroen UK simply said that this is a common Saxo fault and that they will repair it at a cost of £150.
Also there is a constant flashing of the airbag light on the dash. Citroen cannot find an airbag fault and cannot stop the light, which I don't really mind but it can sometimes be distracting.
The cigarette lighter is broken.
That's about it.
General comments?
Good all-round car, surprisingly quick with incredible acceleration. Quick-shift gearbox allows faster gear-changes for higher acceleration.
Top-end speed around 135-140mph.
A lot of fun to be had in this car!
