Citroën Saxo (1996 - 2003) 1.1i Desire 3d (00) (2002/52) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

People think that I'm a boy racer (I'm not really).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Friends love it, girlfriend likes it and mum hates it, thinks I look like a boy racer haha!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Erm probably not, even though its a good car it's all about going up in the car world.

What are you likely to buy next?

Hopefully a decent car after I finish uni :).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,200

When did you buy the car?

April 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yeah, knocked £200 off the price for me as I know the dealer very well, car is immaculate for the price I paid.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Insurance was cheap, economical and relitively nippy.

What was the dealer like?

Very good, cambelt and water pump changed before I bought it and a lifetime guarantee as long as I own the car.

What's it like to drive?

Very nippy round town and can pull fairly well on a motorway. I have 185/55 tyres on the car so handling is very good too, really grippy.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, small car and light steering.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only the winscreen wipers, when they come on they would jam halfway up the windscreen with the motor still running... only option to pull over and push them back down again.

What's most practical about your car?

It's cheap to run and insurance is cheap for someone my age... £660 for a 19 year old lad.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I quite like the sunroof on a hot day, nice touch.
