1998 Citroen Xsara VTR Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent performance, handling and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side window leaked in heavy rain.
Driver mirror outer casing became loose.
Piece of interior trim fell off.
All of the above faults were repaired at no personal cost by the dealer where the car was purchased. They were only to happy to help and even paid my fuel expenses for the journey.
General comments?
Excellent performance, I was really surprised, when raced at an airfield against a friend;s car (Mondeo ST24) it was only marginally slower.
Four wheel steer makes the car handle excellently, giving a really well balanced and positive feel.
Excellent and very well constructed interior, very supportive seats!!
