Bad Points

Poor fuel economy, slipping clutch, poor visibilty,very plastic interior.

General Comments

The Citroen Xsara 1600 isnt the best of cars for fuel economy, about 40 mpg on a run and the layout of controls leaves a lot to be desired, try looking for the rear screen demist or electric window switches while your driving! Rear visibility is poor due to the high tail and large pillars block the view at the sides of the windscreen. Very plastic interior and the seats are average. Watch out for someone steeling the spare wheel and jack which are underneath the car. Worst part of the car is the clutch which has slipped since around 10000 miles, not bad enough to warrant replacement and in any case i've heard this is a fault on them.

    We have had ours a year and have no complaints, except the spare wheel - we did not know where it was until someone informed us it had been pinched! Stupid place to keep it - we were not told we needed a lock for it.

    Spare tyre underneath the car is a bad design and should be placed inside the boot to stop theft.

    what do u mean a bad idea, you have to open the boot undo a bolt which is in the inside of the boot, 4 the spear tyre 2 come free. ive had my xsara 4 about 6months now, and hav had no problems with it, it does 0-60 in 7seconds which is quite good, very smooth to drive, the controls are all in the right place for easy access. ive got a 5door 'stateside' model which looks very nice, and has got a hint og 'Grrrrr' in it : )

    Having read this review the first time, one wonders why the said person bought the car to begin with. He speaks of bad layout of controls, bad visibilty, plastic interior and average seats, all of which should be seen when buying the car to start with. Then they complain about a slipping clutch (probably due to bad driving),have they never heard of repair shops to get said problem fixed.
