Faults:

Squeaky drivers seat.

One fog light not working.

Leaking through the sunroof handle, (common Saxo problem.)

All of the above faults will be fixed by the garage this weekend under warranty I hope.

General Comments:

The car feels refined and nippy till it hits that sweet spot when it's "on cam" at around 4500-5000rpm, then you get a huge surge of power and the car goes like a rocket.

It's fun to see the look on people's faces when this little French "shopping trolley" powers away from most other cars on the road.

It handles well, but has a super sensitive throttle pedal that can see you backwards on a roundabout or kangarooing in heavy traffic.

Beware if you lift off the trottle when going round a roundabout you better be well practised in lift off oversteer techniques because the back and front will swap ends pretty quickly!

Faults:

My radiator blew one year after purchasing it.

The driver seat makes a tapping noise.

The areal mount leaks in heavy rain.

General Comments:

These are the best small cars around.

They are neat on the outside and very neat inside.

They have a great performance and can be modified easily to look even better. Especially when lowered.

Overall, they beat any other small car and they can appeal to girls or boys.

Faults:

Leaky sunroof, coil pack.

General Comments:

The car is a nice drive.

It handles well, even on the limit.

Goes OK as standard, but much, much better with exhaust, de-cat and induction kit.

Looks the business with a few mods like lowering and nice wheels.

Unfortunately has a bad image from young yobs driving on free Citroen insurance. It also suffers from "little brother syndrome" against the 16v VTS.

Faults:

I have not had the car long enough for anything to go wrong, however the car has done 19,000 miles, and no faults on it that I know of.

General Comments:

Forget bells and whistles, forget comfort because the VTS is not about fancy trimmings and comfort. If you want that, then buy something else.

This car is awesome, fantastic to look at, and the performance is wicked. I smile every time I put my foot to the floor, and giggle like a boy scout playing with his woggle as I see cars in my rear mirror vanishing.

It's a bumpy ride due to the suspension, but it sticks to the road like glue. Looks great, goes great, and is the most fun you can get in a car. I'm already planning my next one.. consider anything else? No freaking way!!!

Faults:

Burnt out alternator £100 replaced as soon as I got the car, faulty anti-lock brake sensor replaced after 1 month £75. Oil leak from head gasket, had the head stripped down, skimmed and new gasket £475. Water leak from Ariel.

General Comments:

Other than the problems listed above (most were paid for by my rac warranty) the car is running great now. Performance is out of this world it red lines every gear change without any fuss and most other hot hatches will struggle keeping up. Handling is good, but not brilliant as are the brakes. Its comfy, quick, quiet and good on fuel, just be careful in the wet!!
