1998 Citroen Xsara VTS review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance bargain. Love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Annoying side airbag light which is from a loose connection, easily fixed but works its way loose easily too.
Disgustingly high insurance group.
General comments?
Great car, pulls very well above 3000rpm ,loves being driven on its edge.
Loves the B roads, handles crisply.
Outruns a load of other supposed "performance" models.
Buy used, as residuals are unfairly dreadful.
