2001 Citroen Xsara VTR review from Belgium
"A good, spacious and comfortable car and extremely well handling car for a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I don't have any problems with my Xsara so fare. The cars drives very well, it is comfortable, it has lots of space for a compact car. The only fault I had so fare is the airbag-light, which is caused by the connector of the belt tensioners. However, my Citroen dealer was able to fix it within 30 minutes.
General comments?
In my opinion the Xsara is a good and reliable car with a better price/value rating than its German competitors.
The performance of the 1.4 litre engine is good, but the strength of the Xsara is the handling, especially on countryside roads.
Fuel economy is also very good, especially considering my way of driving, with an average consumption of 7,7 litres (about 6,7 litres motorway and 8,8 in the city).
