2001 Citroen Xsara LX review from UK and Ireland
"A worthy investment for for anyone, from boy racer to family man"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had three minor problems:
The heating blower stopped working about 3 months ago. I discovered it was the switch which has been replaced and is working fine.
When someone shuts a door, there is a metallic rattling sound from near the fuel tank. Nothing seems to be damaged there though.
The driver's door internal trim has loosened a touch (due to a lot of use I guess.) This causes vibrating noises when listening to music.
General comments?
I have added non-standard alloys and uprated brakes, merely adding to the already sharp handling. I will admit to being a careless driver sometimes, but this car always seems to pull me out of trouble.
The comfort provided makes it a perfect car for traffic jams and open motorways. It may be dated looking, but it is still better than most.
