Citroën Saxo 1.6i VTR Reviews

I owned my 1998 Red Saxo VTR for about 2 years. All in all it was a very good car, do you buy one? It depends...read on! With a 1.6 litre 8 valve engine the car is far from slow. With 98bhp its not lacking in power, with most of it available in low revs. As with alot of French cars of this age, you do get the usual rattling ...  Read the complete review

This is my first review, so i`d warmly welcome any feedback :) I purchased my citroen saxo brand new in June of 2003, i`d always liked the look of the car and decided that i`d treat myself (19 years of age at the time), however i didn`t really plan on buying a new one, until i sat down and looked over the finance packages that is. As ...  Read the complete review

Citroen Saxo 1.6 VTR - Advantages: Fun to drive, Nippy, Good looks - Disadvantages: Shocking after sales care, Brakes about effective as tissue paper, Poor build quality - you get what you pay for

Ok, so i don't have a saxo, and i don't want one. However, my sister has one and i have spent a lot of time driving it. It's a 98 VTR, and quite a tidy car. It handles well though the corners and body roll is down to a minimum. Running costs aren't too bad, up around 35 miles per gallon, but for a modern car you'd ...  Read the complete review

I have owned by VTR since April 2001. At first I was attracted to a new model with 1 years free insurance, but after discovering that I didn't qualify for it as I had more than 2 claims in the last 3 years, decided that it would be more worthwhile to purchase a nearly new model. I opted for an X registered model from November 2000, ...  Read the complete review

I bought this car in 1998 with the advantage of 2 years free insurance. I am a high mileage user and the car is very expensive to service compared to other manufacturer dealers. Minor services cost around £135 major closer to £200. The VTR handles superbly unlike some people views that have reviewed it as it like a go-cart and bends are ...  Read the complete review

A nippy little ladies car, but think again if you have a baby and toddler. - Advantages: So easy to drive, feels like a Go-cart on speed., Attractive looking, smart trim., Fun to own and drive. - Disadvantages: Three doors awkward when babies arrive., You may have to sell up for something bigger. , Desperately needs ABS, breaks not great to say the least!

I thought I better set the record straight seeing as my friends review on this car was rudely removed. The Citroen Saxo VTR has a 1600 cc engine which shares its design with the Peugeot 106. It also shares the floorpan and many other little bits scattered here and there. The engine is ok, it won't set the world alight but if properly ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Citroen Saxo VTR (black) about 7 weeks ago and it has been nothing but fun since. Sure the first 1000 miles of breaking in had me squirming but after that it has been brilliant. It is spec'ed at 0-60 in 10.4 seconds with a top speed of 113mph. I haven't measured the dash time but I have had it off the speedo (120) without ...  Read the complete review
