2000 Citroen Saxo VTR review from UK and Ireland
"A ton of problems!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the car only 6 months and have had nothing but trouble:
The sun visor mirror cracked and was then superglued by the dealer.
Dashboard rattling.
The front seats are dangerous as they don't lock properly and slide back.
The engine keeps stalling, in wet weather the car misfires and has no power.
It needed new coil packs after 2 months (took 3 months to get them).
4 months of engine trouble and it's still not fixed!!!!
Local repair centre broke part of my stereo and refused to fix it.
They are also unhelpful and very, very rude.
General comments?
The car is an excellent runner but mine has a number of faults which the dealer hasn't managed to fix in 4 months. Unfortunately I was sold a shagged VTR and haven't had the chance to experience the full benefit of the car.
