2000 Citroen Xsara Forte review from UK and Ireland
"Good to drive, but very unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is on its third set of brake discs after repeated vibration when braking at speed. The airbag light came on and the fault fixed on the second occasion. Paintwork is easily scratched. The battery light won't go out and I have lost electrics to windows, heater, indicator and central locking.
General comments?
A good car to drive when it works, and there is a lot of extras for the money on my model. But there have been far too many faults and servicing and repairs are expensive.
