Exact same for me, mine was absolute cack and any self respecting saxo vtr is genuinely fasterabsolute laughing stock of a car!
To be honest the only thing mine was good at was speed. I had it mapped by a mate, to "somewhere over 200bhp with a fat midrange", and it really shifted for a big car. Never had a car so good for overtaking. Handling was good in a way, although really I mean roadholding. It'd stick all day, but with no feedback or feel, so you never felt that comfortable pushing it.
It was just so unreliable. In 6 months, I got through 2 sets of clocks, the climatronic died, the coilpacks went 3 times, it kept locking me out, it randomly lost power and died at xxxmph on the M62 coming back from Hull after the rugby (embarrassing with a huge Leeds sticker in the back window and loads of Hull fans laughing at me), the power steering pump went, it killed 3 batteries, and ate loads of suspension bushes...
