   Was reading reviews about saxos and some one said the steering in them is heavy which makes the car difficult to manouver. Is this true?

   Not heavy at all? Unless you've been told about ones without power steering in which case the steering will be heavier but still not that hard really...ones with power steering you can steer with one finger

   Your best bet will be to go and look at a real saxo!
   You will be able to judge the space inside and get a feel of the steering!!!

   Don't forget incorrect tyre pressures has an affect on the steering.

    You want to get a mk2 Punto with 'city steering' to really experience light steering.
    
    That shit's dangerous.

    Be careful,,,, Saxo's ain't a boy racers wet dream,,, They're a real man's car ( usually single though, as you'll never have enough money for a girlfriend (it'll be spent on the never ending repair bills)
