Saxperience community on its arse
Was a saxo owner few years ago now looking to get another one so I'd thought id come to the best place for info but seems saxp ain't what it used to be what happened???
|
Fb and most have moved on but there are still a few of us here lol
|
Yeah see a few names about looked on the south east forum and looks like the south east died a long time ago
|
Not that many Saxos about anymore too. Most of the old members have moved on to newer things. Some of us old timers still pop on now and then to see if anyone is about.
|
Ironically it seems the most regular hot topic on here is the discussions on where all the regulars / hot topics have gone.
Unfortunately I think its just a sign of the times now. Its become much more of a knowledge base than it has a community now. Its a shame really, but I suppose you cant really 'force' folk to post things. |
Simo recently started to post again so I expect some decision with the direction of sax-p...
facebook groups are full of idiots so I prefer forums |

People moved on from the saxo and with that moved on from this forum. |

Like I said looking into getting another soon as a work car so I'll be on Abit more hopefully |
Still lively on the continent, where the saxo lives on due to crazy car prices & better weather. Portugal for example. I've sold half a dozen items to dudes over there from Ebay - no one wants them over here.
The facebook groups are a joke. Useful for the modern 'scroll and forget' generation. Some of the adverts on there make me cringe. One picture of an exterior of the car and 14 incorrectly spelt mods is a for sale post. You can never sell on them either - as your post ends up being a post with tags of other people's names in. The groups have killed most forums unfortunately, couple that with the fact the saxo is pretty much dead as a car in circulation... |
Hope it's not on it's arse. Only just recently got mine as a little runaround. Already learnt loads from this place.
Mind you, was the same when I had my smart car. 7 odd years ago, forums were buzzzing, these days, nothing! |

As others have said, there are no Saxos left. I saw a VTS a few weeks ago and got all excited! You used to be ablr to check autotrader and choose from a few hundred VTR/VTSs. Not to mention young people nowadays dont want an old car, they want an S3 or Golf R on finance. In short, the worlds changed really! |

Would be good if everyone selling on those pages were posting here and making the for sale section on this site a bit more active. |

You see it a lot on facebook groups, 18 year olds only been driving a year so have a brand new 1.2 Corsa (on finance) then looking to upgrade to a 30 grand 300+bhp hot hatch as their next car (on more finance or lease). Yet their job title is "crew member at McDonalds". LOL :wall: |
And still only allowed out at certain times due to having a black box fitted
|
It’s not just Saxp. Forums on a whole are dropping in traffic. FB groups etc. seem to have taken over.

Well, I 've kinda stumbled n fallen through the door of this club!
A 50 yr old bloke who didn't look much at the pics on eBay when I did a Buy it Now, without viewing. Got fed up risking it on 2 wheels in -5 celsius and just went by the ad description really! On collecting it, I noticed the body kit trim, then the chrome exhaust tip and thought....Umm, what have I bought??? Frickin ell, the insurance and tax is a bit steep, but for 260 quid its a great car. I find the gas pedal a bit too easy and when someone is faffing around on a roundabout...I JUST LAUNCH!!! Hehe, its so much fun at 50! |

Then again with deals like the just add fuel stuff it also has its merits if you arent up for tinkering with old shite. Guess saxos werent too different considering PSA sold them with insurance deals back in the day too |
It's weird they just don't appreciate old cars any more
