Good Points

Above average performance, quality sticky grip - especially with some good tyres. Easy parking and decent looks (not exceptional by a long shot!). Pucker for getting in and out of school traffic and commuters on the daily dash home. Cheap as chips to buy second hand.


Bad Points

High insurance. Minor electronic issues. Harsh ride and a bit noisey.


General Comments

I was lucky enough to purchase a 30,000 mile one owner Citroen Saxo VTS - in silver for £3800, its been quality to drive and I am guessing I will only know how good I had it when I purchase a 'family car'! Top handling, no mechanical problems, some electronic stuff like the alarm sensors not working properly from the off, airbag warning lights have come on the dash board after about 60,000 miles. But I can forgive that because its a driving car. Its got 73,000 on the clock and still going strong after 2.5 years ownership. Mines is a Y reg and I reckon after 1.5 more years (4 years total) will be part exchanged on something newer but it should manage the next 1.5 years with no mechanical probs as I have serviced it yearly. Always gone straight through MOTs (brake pads needed changing though =) Its a fun car but not a for a family or for a refined misses. The ride has my girlfriend moaning a bit on long journeys and when I throw it round a corner. However by myself its a blast. Finally it brings a smile to my face when I eat up a BMW on the way home.....the look on the face of the owner is like "that's just a saxo and its got better performance than mine!".
