Pete Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's not really geared for driving at that speed though. Just a little city car to pootle around in. I'd imagine you were pushing it's max speed almost? You're right though, it does seem quite high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black cat Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 top speed is 125 i think, theres no way i will get to that. it only has 900miles on clock so wont be getting there soon. tt steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Are you saying it has done 900 miles from brand new?? If so it is still in run in mode, When i bought my saxo VTS brand new the first 1000 miles i had to keep it below 4500 rpm, the car itself felt really slow and i got beat by a clio, after the first 1000 miles it went to citroen for its first service and they must have done something with the ECU as it aboslutley flew after that.

black cat Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 i was hoping for this after being on the c2 forum, however its had first service and has 1300miles on clock and is no different. ??:thumbdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
