1999 Citroen Xsara Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
"A bit of a rusty nail"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rubbish build quality ruins what would otherwise be a good car. Loads of silly little faults, particularly electrcal really let this car down.
Also the paint chips and scratches very easily.
Worst that went wrong was when the gearbox for no apparent reason 'locked up' in busy traffic.
Dealers are unsympathetic and just want to empty your wallet.
General comments?
Wouldn't contemplate buying another car from Citroen after this disgraceful piece of crap.
