Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004 )  
Home » Car by Car » Citroen » Xsara 1997

Enjoyable to drive, with good handling and a smooth, pliant ride. Roomy estates better than five-door hatchbacks. The 167bhp coupe is seriously quick.

Bland looks. Spare wheel vulnerable to theft. Clutch problems on HDI models.

  • Peugeot 306 1993
    Wonderful blend of ride comfort and handling control for its day. A rewarding drive, and good looking with it.

    Powerful, frugal diesels. The estates are practical and some have seven seats. All models ride and handle extremely well. 2.0HDI can last 300,000 miles.
  • Vauxhall Astra G Diesel 1998
    Decent, honest family car. Estates are particularly well thought out and equipped.
  • Citroen Xsara Picasso 2000
    Cheap to buy new and used, spacious cabin with three full size seats across the back, comfortable cruiser, aerodynamic shape means 1.6 HDI can do 55mpg.
