I have replaced all four tyre's.
I have replaced rear brake pads after 27000 miles.
I love my VTR. Although it would be nice to have a faster car, all in all this is a good all-rounder.
I have had no serious faults with it and have only replaced wear and tear items such as tyre's, oil filters etc.
The car is due its first MOT very soon and my pre-MOT inspection has revealed the car to be near perfect and will breeze through its MOT.
OK, the build quality of nearly all Citroen's could be better, but from some of the comments listed on this page, it would appear the majority of people who post messages are the unfortunate minority who do encounter problems with their new cars.
I couldn't be any happier with my VTR and although I am now getting broody for a new car, I know deep down this has been my best car I have ever owned and I have owned some half decent cars too. I think I will stick to my VTR!
Hi!
Just wanted to say keep your Saxo VTR! I had a 90hp VTR and then a 98hp one and decided to get something bigger - BIG mistake. I bought a Xsara VTR which was no where near as good. My Dad owns a Xsara VTS and its still no where near as much fun as a Saxo VTR.
Many cars are better built, but I've never driven a car that is as much fun as a Saxo and that gives you such a feel good factor. So much so I sold my Xsara after 10 months and a bought a lovely new silver one. Enough said.
