AdamAllen Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Am I right in thinking that the furio is the 2000 + (newer shape) name for the westcoast? Really been bugging me for the past few weeks. Cheers Adam Edit: If anyone has a mk1 front vtr bumper forsale pm me lol.

Gavyn. Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I thought they were just special editions. The westcoast in 99 and the furio in 2000. Google it you will eventually get an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 They are nearly identical but the Furio's are the newer models (phase 2) They also have color coded seatbelts, carpets, esc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_soon_to_be Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 a furio is a phase 2 vtr without the nice seats and 98bhp. it does however have a yellow gearnob and each seat belt is a different colour.. funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robwalker Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 mk2 Series 2 Phase 2, whatvever. Yes. The different trim levels and engine options in the Saxo range changed many times during the model's lifetime, but the names were consistent throughout most of the production run, such as the Saxo First, Saxo Forte, Saxo Scandal, Saxo Eastcoast, Saxo Desire, Saxo Executive, and Saxo Westcoast (Furio in the later MkII variant).

tipsy Jock Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 It's pretty much a Citroen version of the 106 Quiksilver. I'd imagine it also lacks the bigger brakes and stiffer suspension of the VTR/VTS. If you ever plan to modify it don't bother. Apparently though some people can resist the modifying bug, if that's the case go for it. It should be pokey enough to be fun and a complete dawdle to fix should anything go wrong.

matt rushton Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Saxos are wa*k for ever braking down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Is that personal experience? I guess not seeing as you're only 16. I've had a Saxo for around 6 months now and it's not broken down once. Had a few problems yeh but so does every car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got all the little usual Saxo problems though (rattling everything) My 106 was pretty good for not rattling. Although now with stiffer engine mounts and no interior everything rattles! The whole french cars being rubbish is a bit tiresome, the comments seem to always come from people that have never owned one. I've owned the Rallye for just over a year now and it's been great. Admittedly the head gasket did go recently but it had just done 2500 miles across Europe the week before lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
