  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value for what you get. You know it will sell well later.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Pretty good. I get 30mpg giving a good workout. Tyres are a bit pricey at £100 each.

    Uninvolving and boring. Gearchange is unbelievably slow and heavy.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Not very good. A Citroen Saxo VTS will leave you dead. 150bhp is not enough for a car this heavy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Security

    My brother can open the central locking just by sending a message on his mobile phone!

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Dealer didnt seem interested, because I didn't buy the car from them.
