Advantages: great for driving in town but ok on motorway too

Disadvantages: can lack power on motorway at times

I bought my first car in September 04. It was a Citroen Saxo. It was 5 years old then. I'm still driving it.

I am not going to lie and say it is perfect and I've never had any problems with it. Far from it. In the first 2 years I've owned it, I had to take it to the mechanic quite a lot mainly because of the brakes or the exhaust.

It became clear to me that my car was not reliable especially in cold weather. Many times, it just wouldn't start.

But in the last 3 years, I'm not sure why, it has been a great little car. I have it serviced every year now and I suppose it helps keep an eye on any possible problem.

I recently drove from Sheffield to Paignton in 4 hours 10 and back again in the same amount of time. I was amazed how good it was on the road and I have no intention to get rid of it until it completely dies.

It's very economical and I find the boot has good space even with a pram in it.

Summary: A great first car, economical too
