Citroen Xsara Coupe

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Brilliant for the used buyer! Bought at less than 3 years old with below average miles for 1/3 of new cost.

    Fuel economy pretty good on a run. Round town with climate on knocks it for 6. General service items cheap.

    Roller-skate!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have to work it quite hard, but enough torque to pootle around at less than 3,000 revs all day.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    So far, so good, although discs replaced under warranty before bought.

    Non-descript to those not in the know, which suits me fine!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Seats are ok. Could do with more lateral support.

    If only the alarm would stop going off at 1am...

    Going in for the alarm to be 'looked at' next week - from previous experience with other Citroens, I don't expect it to be fixed at the 1st attempt - not good at £75 per hour!
