2001 Citroen Xsara LX review from UK and Ireland
"Not world beating, but no second rate car either. Does what you need from a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left indicator stayed on, even when the stalk was in the neutral position. I bought a new stalk from a breakers yard (for less than £20) and replaced it. I have no technical ability whatsoever, but that was childs play.
General rattles everywhere.
Turning circle is poor.
Rear view mirror vibrates
General comments?
Handling is good.
ABS makes up for the soft breaks.
Great for all kinds driving, particularly long distance and motorway.
Cheap as chips to run and maintain.
Holds its own in the power stakes.
