Citroën Xsara Hatchback 1.8i 16V SX 5d (1998/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
£3995 in 2003 for a 10000 mile car. Can't Complain!
Costs
Manage to get up to 42 mpg on the motorway. I get parts from motor factors so quite cheap.

On the road
Driving
Typical good handling from a Citroen.
Performance
Very good. 1.8i16v is second biggest engine for a Xsara and has plenty overtaking power. Can easily sit at high speeds on the motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
In 2 years all I have had are worn rear brakes and a dodgy oil light.

Not fantastic. Typical French seats lacking in support.
