Citroen Xsara Coupe
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Bought 12 months old for half the list price.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very little so far - always does 40+ to the gallon.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The motoring press don't particularly rate it but it drives pretty well, although I've never driven a Focus or a Golf.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No hot-hatch but moderately useful performance - have to work the revs to get much out of it though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fine so far.

    Maybe looking a little dated now but I like it - looks a lot better than the 5 door.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It's fine - lots of kit for the money.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No idea. Don't think car thieves particularly care about it.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I use a really good independent bloke instead.
