Citroen

Saxo- Excellent first car!!!

Advantages: Easy on petrol, Insurance, Ignition code
Disadvantages: None that ive came across!!

My first car- Great on insurance, Petrol and tax. I would have to say that a major plus on this car is the ignition code.....I recently left the lights on and the battery died (easily done)...(silly girl) but because of the ignition code that only i know it was impossible to push start this car!!! I then had to go and get a set off jump leads but again unless you know the code you will not start this car!! Which is a good thing if you dont have the ...

Review of Citroen Saxo 1.1

citroen zsara picasso space space space

Advantages: space and easy to drive
Disadvantages: personally haven't got one

i brought a citroen xsara picasso just after my baby was born as my other car wasnt big enough to get anything else but the pushchair in the boot. i used to have a renault clio which i loved and i was worried about driving a bigger car but there was no need as a picasso is easier to drive and has loads of room in the front and back easy to put the seats down to create more room lots of drinks holders in front and back and i the doors so hopefully ...

Review of Citroen Xsara Picasso

fast great handling...and people dont realise how economical!

Advantages: looks, power, handling and HUGE MPG!
Disadvantages: scratchy plastic everywhere, build quality and some terrible ones out there

19 years old 2 years NCB hmm what to buy..... My one and only boy racer car ive ever owned but what a car! Got fed up with my old 306 so splashed out for a 3 year old gold saxo vtr. Cost me £4500 worth every penny Didnt cost the earth to insure and I get over 40mpg! no matter how its driven. I got a 2001 model which comes with the newer 98bhp engine as apposed to the older 90bhp engine. With this engine and the car only weighing around 950kg ...
...top speed of 125mph, pound for pound one of the fastest cars i could get apart from the vts of course! The only downside was the build quality the factory body kit would unclip regularly and the dash is not great however the 2001 + model comes with newer smarter looking sports seats. Would recomend to anyone who wants a great handling and performing car and who has one eye on the MPG. Check my other car reviews. ...

...still have a 1.4 model Citroen Saxo and fancied the quicker top model so I went out looking for one and found a Wicked Red 2000 'W' plate with 90,000 on the clock and full service history for just £1925 took her out and fell in love with her. The first thing I did was go out and buy some good sports tyres for her so her handling could be at it's best, after a while of getting used to a slightly different car I couldn't be more impressed with her, ...

Review of Citroen Saxo 1.6i

C3 or not C3? Definitely not a C3!!

Advantages: Spacious, economical fuel consumption, looks good
Disadvantages: High repair and maintenance bills, unreliable, doesn't look so good on the back of a tow truck!

After owning my little Citroen C3 for just over 6 years, the time has come to accept that this relationship has run its course and move on to better things. So I have finally part-exchanged my C3 and, hopefully, bid farewell to endless visits to the garage and constant repair bills! Like most relationships, this started so well. It was love at first sight when I set eyes on the C3, which was a relatively new model when I bought mine back in November ...
...were looked at by a Citroen garage a few months' back and they run a diagnostic check on the car (for which I had to pay another bill for) only for it to come back clear and the mechanic just said 'it could be anything or nothing.' He claimed to have cleaned some pipe or other which he felt should resolve the problem but within the space of a fortnight the same warning lights were flashing up left, right and centre again! Their only real recommendation ...
