1998 Citroen Xsara Berline review from Netherlands
"A disaster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust broken
Brake pads worn out
Heater radiator broken
Head gasket blew
Head maybe torn.
This all happened in a time of 6 months. I always drove normally in it, so there was no thinkable reason why so much broke in such a short period of time.
General comments?
I will never buy a Xsara in my life again!
The costs for repairing were estimated 1500 to 1700 euro's. I left it broken at the dealer and bought another car.
