Citroën Xsara Coupe 1.6i 16V VTR 3d (2002/02) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
How cheap. You can get a car this old for less than £4000 if you shop around, with low miles.
Costs
If you're heavy footed in town, not great economy, but even with big wheels, achieved 48 on motorway!

On the road
Driving
Sports Car handling when well balanced 17"" fitted. Very nice to drive on long journeys.
Performance
Not as fast as VTS, but faster than competition, with a lot more class than a baseball cap wearers trashed hatch, and only group 9!

Living with it
Reliability
Dealer recalls, and one bit of trim, fixed under warranty
Image
It's a citroen, and a Xsara, but the people who think that have never driven one.
Comfort
Not as floaty as a xantia, but then again, it's got tight suspension and big wheels. Easy on motorway.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser and deadlocks, plus people don't know how good they are!
Service
I would avoid Citroen main dealer service once the warranty has expired, as tey really couldn't tell the difference between their arse and their elbow!
