my Xsara VTS

You got that for a good price

Ebay?

arc · Aug 21, 2010

indeed. It was on up on pistonheads for £1250 - and I would've paid that for it tbh. It's a lot of car for the money.

Lot of car for the money indeed. I was looking for a car for my younger stepdaughter a while back and was struck by what good value the Xsaras were, the VTR in particular. Not as quick as yours but still a good little car.

Yours looks in really good nick. Well done

Cheers,

Plug

Supprisingly it's probably the only Citroen I like. That Gold colour is awesome BTW!

Aye, it is in good condition - only a tiny tear in the drivers side bolster.

hehehe, i know - it really does. But i'm not sure this car will get modified at all. It's never going to be as nippy as the cinq and I think it might get costly to even try.

I love the colour. imo the VTS looks better in this colour than more plain / flat colours

The 170Bhp must be a lot of fun. It looks immaculate. It is a lot of car for £930 I can't help but feel second hand cars are too cheap to buy these days.

I would much rather have the 306 look's, that cars look's just does not appeal to me. The rally ones look great though

I saw an unkept one today actually in the same colour.

How have you enjoyed the car so far then?

arc · Aug 22, 2010

a 306 GTI6 of similar age / spec / condition would've cost a considerable amount more cash. Remember I set out to by a "not boring car for around a grand" - not specifically something gti6 based

I've not had chance to drive it on fun roads much yet. Done a lot of motorway miles, where it is def stronger than the Cinquecento is. Not as quick off the line tho feels much less stressed, and it is a joy having air-con

I live very close to snake pass and am very much looking forward to the next time i have to drive over that way.

Adrian Bravo · Aug 22, 2010

Im not far from snake pass its a fun road

I went to the Yorkshire Bridge Inn last time I was there, food was very good

Is it torsion bar on the back?

If so then it's only a case of hitting the bars out and reposition them a couple notches. I think 1 notch is 10mm or something.

Then it's a case of front lowering springs

.

Thanks

it is a torsion bar at the back, but i don't think this car will be getting lowered much!

Congratulations on the purchase. I used to own a series 2 Xsara VTS in exactly the same colour. To this day I still miss that car. It was a great car to drive on twisty country roads.
