What does this car say about you?
says that until i graduate uni it will have to do lol

take the p**s because of the stigma associated with saxos lol like reliability etc, but it looks nice, mettalic black, lowered 40mm, exhaust, and window tints :P

aha deffinately NO! it looks good, drives well, is quite fast, but reliability wise NOOOOOOO!!! VERY unreliable for me, maybe other saxos are different but not this one sorry.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
to be honest ive driven a lot of cars faster than a saxo, not hard i know lol but to be fair its very nippy, handles very well really is a good performer up to about 50mph , only has 8 valves so to be expected, but overall i like it.

easy, because its small!
