drove a saxo last night.....
« on: 01 July 2011, 11:15 »
...... and enjoyed it  :lipsrsealed: :shocked:

somebody please help!!!!  :grin: but tbh i have been driving my mums little aguila round whilst my mk3 is in its 2nd home (the mechanics).

but the saxo felt so light and nimble, quite nippy as well  :lipsrsealed:

i can imagine they are quite a fun little car.

.......

The saxo isn't the problem, it's the drivers! Saxo's are a great little car and can look awesome, unfortunately it's the owners..

My missus has a VTR and get's everyone trying to race her, most get a shock when they lose!!!!  :grin:

My feet are too big for a Saxo, my feet get stuck on that crap little piece of plastic above the clutch.

Plus my hatred for them stops me from enjoying them.

yeah the peddles are terrible and the gearbox is floppy and the clutch pedal is very stiff and the brake has no feel to it and the exhaust rattles and the paint is soft and the general build quality is dog poo but it does corner well  :smiley:

the only way i would consider one of these myself is in the form of a 106 rallye - always had a soft spot for these but there arnt many good ones left.

I had a mk2 saxo vtr, never again, i was told they would be quick, was it heck, i got beaten by a metro!
driveshafts went, powersteering went (mid corner it would kick in and throw the car), brakes weren't the best, then finally radiator blew so got rid for £350..
