Citroen Xsara Coupe

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    If i had paid MRRP of £17,000 i would be gutted, but i picked up an 04/ 04 with just 4,500 miles for £7,600. The dealer had 4 in stock!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The wife pays just £50 a year more than the Picasso that we traded in.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Lack of up to date technology makes the car much more fun to drive

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    One of the most under-rated coupe/ sports hatches ever sold. Put 10,000 miles on the clock and the cars can out run most modern competition.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Absolutely no problems at all so far, but will use the 3 year warranty if there is anything.

    Most will criticise, but i think the last of the cars were exceptionally pretty. Aggressive nose, quality alloys and now the basis for the current WRC championship winning car!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Alcantara sports seats, Climate control. Again, hugely under rated. Holds the road very well but leave you comfortable after a couple of hours behind the wheel.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Standard immoboliser and alarm seem to do the job.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Annual service carried out without a hitch.
