1999 Citroen Xsara SX review from UK and Ireland
"A fair deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Safety bag warning light comes on for no reason. The dealer has 'fixed' it twice, but the problem recurs each winter. I gather this is a common problem. There is, apparently, no fault with the safety bags, but simply a fault in the warning light circuit - and this is intermittent.
General comments?
This is a good family car with a huge boot. The principal disadvantage is rear visibility - caused, presumably, by the high line of the boot lid.
For a diesel engine in a fairly small car, the fuel consumption is not outstanding. At best one can achieve about 50mpg.
