General Comments

I brought my Citroen Saxo VTR about 3 weeks ago! It's absolutely amazing! I love it, it's so fast, considering I went from a 1.2 Corsa! It's so fast, it's so nice when other cars get up your rear and you just put your foot down and leave them standing when they least expect it! It's such a fun and exciting car to drive, it's like a real life Go-Kart! Jeremy Clarkson referred to it as a Rocket Powered Shopping Trolley! Now, it's up to you how you take that, good or bad, it still means it's pretty fast! For an 18 year old, this car is extremely fast!

Can't really comment on the overall reliability because I haven't had it long enough really! All the extras for a 98 car: electric windows, power steering, fog lights, sun roof, etc., comes with built in immobiliser as well, works from the key when you put it in ignition. I have a Toad AI606 fitted to mine which I'd recommend to anyone, gives you extra things like total closure, where it shuts your windows when you lock it, locks your doors when you turn your ignition on, etc.

If you're considering buying one, don't consider it, just buy it! You won't regret it!

    Good points-
    Fairly nippy - cos it's made of nothing!
    Handling - again cos it's made of nothing!

    Bad points-
    Not as quick as the kids who drive em make em out to be
    Anyone could brake into one
    Build quality - a bit of tin foil here and there
    Too many 18 year olds drivin em!

    Seriously, the Citroen Saxo engines aren't even 16v, and 0-60 in about 91/2 to 10 seconds is pretty slow for a car this small. I saw about 6 VTR's on the way to work the other day, so if you want to join the chav crew then buy one, if not then buy, well anything else!!! At least the VTS's are quick, but they still have chav written all over them. Also, they have become a bit of a girls car now anyway.
