    Sliver , sky blue , green, red and two tone stands out in the Citroen saxo. This car is very sporty and attractive, and small...I love this car from my heart it's my pride and joy for over 9 years now , it's never let me down till this day ..... the saxo is still my first car till this day believe it or not....and am still smashing the corners in Ma SAXO VTR with loud trance and techno music lol....Fukin have it!!😆

      Jay Q the blue colour is called Poseidon Blue, I used to own a 1.4 furio that had the VTR/VTS body kit, I owned it between 2002 to 2007, I added a full custom body kit with full respray + alloys and cat back custom exhaust system as well. I didn’t mess with the engine or suspension. I ended up trading it in for a Ford Focus (got £1000 part exchange) as I was fed up of the Saxo always going back into the garage. Over all, I spent £13000 on everything, from buying it at £7000 + all the maintenance, + repairs and mods. Now’s the perfect time to own a VTR or VTS in standard condition as they are entering classic territory at about 20 years old now!

      I need the bushes on mine doing and exhaust. I've ordered a new race exhaust for it, so will book it in next week and get them to fit exhaust and do bushes. Also the engine management light came on---silly lights as people call them, will get them to sort that as well.

      THE DEVIL I agree, Saxo was and still is my first car I got a little 1.1, done a vtr engine swap though for the 98bhp! Done the standards 4-2-1 mani decat and induction, thinking of a cam next or a turbo but I need to start saving, I know mine will never be a genuine vtr but only takes a few changes to make it a proper vtr! I got the body kit on stand by, I enjoy the sleeper look at the moment lmao

    Autocar’s recently published used car buying guide on the Citroën Saxo said that “the UK-spec VTS and VTR really were ‘hot’ Saxos: air conditioning was never an option from the factory for right-hand-drive cars.”
    So why wasn’t air-con available as a factory-fit option back then for right-hand-drive Saxo VTSs and VTRs, like it was for left-hand-drive cars?

    A VTR with passenger airbag (red button on dash)? Was it an optional extra? My 2001 phase 2/MK2 VTR doesn't have one. Thought they were only on VTS's.....
