My Saxo est mort. Ie current value of my Saxo is the equivalent to the value of a crate of lager. Tap someone accidentally 's front wheel of my Saxo to. The front suspension was bent. Unfortunately for the Saxo was over and out.
In short; what then? It's March 2013. Just graduated, no job level. Want something more spacious, more comfortable and something not blown away. Anyway, no money. Shopping discount of EUR 750.
Well; Lemon-pat on. A Xsara Coupe from 1998. A gold / yellow. Spit Ugly color and the previous owner had let assemble on an ex-factory rear ... WELL, YES! A lot more comfortable than my old Saxootje. But compared to my 1996-er BMW E36 lower quality level is right on. It wobbles and it creaks in the Frenchman. The interior is puny plastic instead of solid plastic that was in the BMW. The interior looks back irrevocable '' nine tees' out. Black and hard plastic. Ergonomic quite fine. Seats are tight and those few centimeters extra interior space compared to the Saxo's not annoying!
The road! Driving this car does a Frenchman. Hey, that runs not bad! Not cracking free, not smooth but actually quite comfortable. He's still good! Insurance costs than expected, gasoline slurps ie not excessive and start doing 'ie always. Parts are plentiful for this type of engine. Costs are acceptable. This car would be best can keep up even a few years!
In short, despite its ugliness it 's quite a good car. Except that in my case the cooling of the car was not the strongest point. At a nighttime highway driving the cooling water bulb lit up; meter was in the red. Okay, I drove possibly harder than 120, but still ... That would be the cooling to be able to. Also, the cooling of a 15-year-old at the time Francaise.
Then 't start tinkering; Cooling system flush, refresh bleeding etc. What a mess came out! Not kept up with love, shall we say!
Also some love and attention tinkering a layout does not address. That was me not tasty. Just before I went on holiday to the South of France with the car, I'm sold. I did not dare to ride. Unfortunately; nice device, but I did not trust her.
Despite the above flaws, I am very satisfied with this car. Particularly good ride comfort, which chairs have a large share (mi one of the most important things in a car). Furthermore, like all gadgets me very well, which is easy to operate using the buttons on the steering wheel or the large display. The full LED lighting pleases: the light output is very good. Consumption, although not in accordance with the manufacturer, also strikes me bad. This is less than my previous car, which also had a 1.4t. Regarding power, the car is well suited for the rapid optrekker, but it is also very comfortable to just take it easy.
More than 10,000 km away (22 635 km)
After the last review, there are already 10,000 kilometers flown, and has also been the first visit to the dealer.
In addition to the previous review first of my new experiences. Then I'll just add to older items.
Regarding comfort i have been several times also drove a fully loaded car. I believe in particular that the car is stiff suspension and relatively soon is in final suspension mode. Riding with a full occupation is not really comfortable. For comfort I now also a star less data than previously.
Meanwhile, I also have a number of refueling hose tested ECO mode. When using your brand well that the car means to go up compared to the other modes. In terms of consumption, I have noticed no improvement as you drive as usual. Therefore unnecessary in my opinion is the ECO mode and especially to achieve a reduction in consumption by itself to drive economically. Altogether still not using disappoints me compared to previous cars. Running therefore get an extra star.
Earlier, the PDC (Park Distance Control) once fell out, the right mirror did not move to its original position and shut the window not good. It turned out that the computer had built up a large error log by various disturbances, causing additional failures may arise. At the garage, everything was reset and the PDC was reset. Unfortunately, a few weeks later showed that the PDC failure was still not repaired because they again went out temporarily. The reliability I give this a star less than before.
I have now found that when the mirror control switch is put in neutral position with regard to the problem with the right mirror, the mirror then naturally again will be placed in the correct position, as long as the ignition is switched on.
First motor defective (41,500 km)
Meanwhile, more than 41,000 kilometers driven satisfactorily. Only problem remains the common electronic jamming with some regularity. Every now and then refuses to start / stop system service, parking sensors do not react or is the whole entertainment from. After a restart of the vehicle, this is usually resolved and therefore not particularly disturbing.
However, yesterday and today, the engine began to stutter / stammer when accelerating. Following an inspection by the garage a coil proved to be defective, which is quite unusual in this mileage. After replacing the engine runs as it should.
60 000 (60 055 km)
We are now back quite a few kilometers away and ran the car in two years, 60,000 kilometers. Until now, the performance remains in line with expectations and there are no details have noticed me. Time being only here on!
