1999 Citroen Xsara VTS Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"A quick, reliable and practical motor!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much has gone wrong with the car since I've owned it. The only fault is a warning light that infrequently comes on for the side airbag. I know that there is nothing wrong and have had it checked, but to no avail!!
General comments?
I would really recommend this car to somebody who is fairly young and wants a very quick, comfortable car with a sporty edge. It's fairly cheap to insure and maintain. The only problem is the dealer network that is awful. They tend to try to do work that you haven't asked for at services and charge you £100's for it. e.g. £400 worth of replacement pads and discs that I subsequently go fitted for £85.
Real rip off merchants!!!
