1999 Citroen Xsara VTS review from UK and Ireland
"What a toy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About 6 months into my ownership, the engine repeatedly stalled when pulling up to traffic lights. the problem has now cleared itself up on its own.
In March 2004, my Remote central locking stopped working.
In April 2004, The drivers seat broke, after refusing to tip properly since I had the car. The seat anchor, holding it to the floor pan managed to snap.
General comments?
The car has a few modifications to the inlet and the exhaust system, and sounds awsome when the engine revs get above 4200rpm.
I am not too impressed by the colour, as it is Metallic yellow, but it does show off the beautiful lines of the bodyshell.
Purchase one, and play!
