2001 Citroen Xsara L review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant ride with poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Airbag light kept coming on - repaired twice, eventually being rewired.
Engine Management light came on four times. Once needed a new distributor cap, the other times were software/firmware problems.
New brake disks needed at 30,000 - the same time as first pad renewal!! Very expensive.
General comments?
Superb handling, excellent space for a small car, reasonably economical.
Poor reliability.
