Citroën Saxo 1.6i VTR 3d (99) (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
It's a stupidly cheap car that makes you smile, even at low speeds. You get much more than you pay for.
Costs
Has cost virtually nothing to run (don't have dealer service - far too expensive).
-
On the road
Driving
If you are looking for refinement, go elsewhere. If it is fun you are after, it's here. You feel like you're in a Go-Kart at any speed. Perfect for town driving as you don't need to go fast to have fun.
Performance
Feels much faster than it is, which must be a good thing and saves you license and speeding fines.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down.
Image
It's a boy racer car, so therefore has NO cred at all.
Comfort
I have a bad back - it neither helps nor hinders. Appallingly small footwell for driver - gotta wear small trainers to drive it in my size 11s.
-
Security and Service
Security
3 thefts, including my stereo, wheels and ariel - should come with alarm as standard.
Service
Only visited once to get a replacement rear parcel shelf cord - out of warranty, but gave me it free (saving me £1.27 - hurrah).
