Advantages great handling
Disadvantages underpowered at speed
I recently purchased a low milage T (99) 1.6 8v xsara coupe. Overall it's a fine car. Quite good equipment levels (frt/side airbags, abs, PAS, RDS, elec sunroof) and handling & breaking is good. However this entry level engine is a bit weedy at speeds >50 mph but will cruise on motorway at 70mph happily (perhaps bigger power units better?). Car don't look flash (just a slightly cut off version of standard saloon with lower susp & close ratio gears). Fine for me as where I work it would get nicked/trashed. Great on country roads
As it's just a body varient on the standard hatchback headroom in back lightly cramped (legroom acceptible). The boot space is pretty good.They also seem only to have been made in metallic gold colour (?something to do with Claudia schiffer ads ?)
