Citroen Xsara LX

The Citroen Xsara is on the same underpinnings as the Peugeot 307, the Xsara is still performing very respectably here and is generally well considered for being a good drive and very reliable. Available in coupe, 5-door and estate still, and is certainly a car whose looks have lasted well throughout its life, at the start of which it won the Semperit Irish Car of the Year award. The engine options are 1.4- and 2-litre petrol and Citroen’s excellent 2-litre HDi. The HDi Coupe is actually one of the fun cars around, with its low-down torque contributing to a really good driving experience in the right places.
