Citroën Xsara Coupe 1.8i 16V VTR 3d (1998/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I paid £4000 second-hand for this at S plate 6 months ago, but it is immaculate inside and out.
Costs
Guzzles the petrol, I find, but lucky to know someone that has got a company petrol card!

On the road
Driving
Driving this car is wicked. I have never driven a car with such great road handling.
Performance
Fantastic vehicle. Love racing people at traffic lights! Little boy racers in their Novas try and race me in this and are shocked when they get left behind! Sticks to the road in all weathers and very fast car!

Living with it
Reliability
Have had to have a new clutch system at 55,000 miles, but luckly I have warranty from the Car Supermarket that I bought it from and it was repaired within a day!
Image
I like the coupe version, I wouldn't own this vehicle if it wasn't VTR engine. Never looked at these cars until I saw my one... It has got blacked-out windows (put in by previous owner), which gives it a much sportier look by far.
Comfort
Comfortable inside and plenty of room in the front cabin and lots of room for my little one in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Built in immobiliser and alarm, no faults with it yet!
Service
Haven't had any dealings with Citroen yet! Touch wood, no need for it yet. I have had good service though from the warranty package from whom i bought the vehicle from.
