1998 Citroen Xsara SX review from UK and Ireland
"I like it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump failed.
Creaking rear suspension.
Oil consumption.
Leaking drive-shaft.
General comments?
Overall, pretty reliable. I got the car at 85,000 miles; now on 110,000 miles and still going.
I had a creaking suspension, but it's now cured; turned out to be the exhaust shield had broken away and was rubbing on exhaust. Quiet as a lamb now.
Performance is very good, no complaints. I have the 1.6 8 valve, but it is starting to use more oil. I think it's due to the mileage.
Interior has lasted well; no damage, even with 2 children, and the seats are comfortable.
It starts every morning, so I can't complain.
