Citroën Xsara Coupe 2.0i 16V VTS 3d (SR) (1998/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
The car depreciated by over 50% from the list price, which is good from a used buyer view, but not so good for the seller!
Costs
Just had to get a whole new exhausts at £450 and the Mitchelin tyres were £70 after shopping around, breaks and servicing good value though.

Driving
The car handles the road excellently in all conditions. Fun to drive, and very responsive.
Performance
The performance is fantastic! A very quick car. Not many cars have beaten me from standing! Need to be careful when putting your foot to the floor, the power can take you by surprise.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
The car is a dark horse. Difficult to differentiate between the VTR spec. Most drivers don't know what is under the bonnet, which for me is good.
Comfort
Very confortable to drive. After driving for six hours through Europe, I didn't ache at all!

Security and Service
Security
Alarm, immobiliser and deadlocks. Still wouldn't like to leave the car in a dodgy part of town though.
