Citroën Saxo 1.6i VTR 3d (99) (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Good deal when I bought it. Year's free insurance plus £965 cashback, which I used as my deposit. Good value for what you get compared to similar cars such as 106 and Corsa.
Costs
Quite low insurance and tax. Good fuel economy for a 1.6.

On the road
Driving
Handles well in standard form, but I have changed to bigger 17" alloys and lower suspension, which has made the ride less than desirable.
Performance
Ok. Nothing spectacular.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Car is only 10 months old, so up to now has been fine.
Image
Very popular with young drivers like myself. I bought mine with the sole purpose of modifying it for shows.
Comfort
Seats are terrible. Very uncomfortable on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Quite a popular target to be broken into. Comes with an immobiliser. I have since fitted a Catergory 1 alarm and immobiliser and de-locked the doors for extra security.
Service
The dealer was brilliant throughout the sale of the car, but then when it came to any niggling little problems, they seemed very poor.
