General description

Designed in the mid-90s but popular so it lasted well even though it was up against more modern cars.

Managed to develop a 'Max Power' image.

Things to look for when buying one

Along with the majority of French and Italian cars of this age, interior trim is a bit fragile and electrics can sometimes play up.


The good bits

Like the Peugeot 106, the Saxo is a good handler and rides well.

The not so good bits

Lots of other, newer cars offer better crash performance. Trying to find one that hasn't been 'Max-Powered' which is a bit sad on a 1.1 litre.
