i just dont understand the point in the saxo. Yes they do handle well but they look cr@p and in standard form are so slow and those dam boy racers that pull up next to you in a saxo at the traffic lights reving their engine.And why the huge exhaust and the lexus lights does anyone agree with me? im not out to offend anyone i just want some answers
I'm offended... But they're not that slow or bad looking in standard form
Yes they look shite with the lexus lights and body kits, so what? That reflects the owner more than the car.
What is the point? To provide a relatively cheap 'quick' car for young drivers perhaps??
Good little cars IMO. But with a terrible image.

I think a good well kept standard VTS or VTR is a very nice looking good car, if thats what you want from a car.
Cheap, small, comfy, fun on a backroad, economical, fast enough for most occasions for what it is.
Now as soon as people think they can make them better with cheap tat from Halfrauds, hmmmm.

nothing wrong with them aside of the fact they've become a boy racer icon.
In terms of the cars themselves, they're pretty good for what they are. Cheap as chips, cheap to insure, fairly reliable aside of a couple of quirks, better looking in standard guise than most of the competitions cars, practical and nippy, with the VTR and VTS versions being pretty quick when they were first released.
The saxo isn't a bad little car as far as small euro econoboxes go, it just has a bit of a tasteless following.

CLAPPED OUT 205, the 205 is one of the best hot hatches out there they look great perform well and hold their value and they aint covered in plastic like the saxo and how long has the 205 been around for?. i think it speaks for its self. The saxo must have been designed by a bored toddler....................
Look at the size of that.Each to their own Jason, I'm not saying the Saxo is the hottest thing on 4 wheels, I was saying that people stick shat on all sorts of cars...the sazo being the popular choice in the mid-90s, so much so than Citreon started to sell them with bodykits already on.
I have a VTS and in some respects I like it and in other respects I absolutely hate it...
Its fast for a little car and its completely box standard. Quite nice interior and I think they look nice and sporty.
But on the other hand the build quality is shocking, it feels like it has been celotaped together, the suspension is really hard so you feel every bump, the exhausts always seem to blow. as it did on the other saxo I had. The seating position is very uncomfortable.
I have only bought it as I needed something quick, quite a step down from a 5 series :-(

One would presume from this apparently pointless post you were 'done' by a saxo.Might be advisable to replace the word apparently with completely also
The saxo can be a fantastically cheap track day car. A stripped VTS with a cage and a decent bucket seat can provide loads of fun. There light, cheap, quite quick, revvy (vts) and handle fantastically. It's a shame about the image but there you go. Those who haven't driven one hard shouldn't really slag them off until they have.

I see the OP has deleted all his posts. What is it lately with people coming on, making some smart arse comment, then deleting all their posts?
Obviously is big enough to come on here spouting off about other people's cars, but when people don't agree with him gets upset.Either that or he's upset because the clutch has gone on his 205, again...
