This is a 1.1 Saxo, I've driven many of my friends cars which are clio's and Peugeot 106,206. The 106 and the Saxo (same car) seem a lot faster for the engine size. My car is easily as fast as a lot of 1.4's out there.
Ride comfort isn't brilliant, the suspension is a little worn and bumpy.
The cabin is very nice, it is cheap, but looks nice enough not to depress me! The seats could be more comfy, but then again this is a cheap car.
Sound engine. The engine in this car has lasted very well, with no major faults, shame the niggly faults seem to let the reliability down on this car.
Car has never broken down since new. I would recommend to new drivers as its very nice and easy to drive. Would make a great city car although heavy mileage is probably not going to be much fun in this as it is noisy past 80.
All in all great car, if you looking for a budget car I would recommend this, or a Skoda Fabia which are great cars.
Saxo eastcoast - most reliable engine on earth and the performance for a 1.1 is incredible.
