1999 Citroen Xsara VTS review from Germany
"Best car I ever had!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One time flashing of side airbag. Has been fixed, but keeps on coming from time to time.
Nothing else.
General comments?
I never thought I would buy one someday, because it's looks like nothing.
But very reliably. Very comfortable. Superb handling! Engine and torque can always be better, but from 3000 r.p.m. very good acceleration. Hits the 180 km/h mark pretty fast.
Other than that I like the rain sensor and the automatic air-conditioning system. Yu sit in and has perfect temperatur.
For the race track this car is unfortunately not the best suitable. But has very low insurance cost and medium fuel consumption and good brakes.
Next time citroen please make the car a little bit thiner, Thanks!
