1999 Citroen Xsara VTS review from Malta
"Fast, reliable and overall good quality build. It was worth its money in all aspects."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 tailgate bulbs blown.
Thorn tyre due to large pothole at around 16,000kms.
General comments?
This car is excellent value for money, especially comparing its comfort, fun factor and road holding to cars of even more money value. Also even with factory sports suspension (lowered and harder shocks) and low profile tyres, ride is very comfortable and excellent in road holding.
Seats are extremely comfortable even for a long time in the car and very supportive too because of their Lumber support, specially the driver's seat which has extra adjustments.
Dashboard is well built and all controls are at hand including stereo remote which are in the steering wheel and are illuminated with the stereo on.
