Of course, Citroen insiders will tell you that the company never made any money on its wonderful cars. But PSA Group’s relentless dumping down of Citroen’s core brand values is odd, given the push by other car-makers to develop brands that have strong and individualistic characters. Citroen should be France’s greatest prestige brandname.. Instead, Renault’s moving into that territory.

The Citroen Xsara has been given a face-lift to link it to both the Picasso people mover and the forthcoming Xantia replacement, the C5. And, yes, the new bonnet, guards, bumper and clear lens headlights give the Xsara the same goggle-eyed stare as the other two. Other changes include a wider track, bigger wheels, a new rear hatch and minor tweaks to the unrelenting gloomy, plastic-tacky interior. Australia’s Xsara range is about to be boosted by the arrival of the top-of-the-range VT.. Citroen calls it a sports coupe, but it’s really a three-door hot hatch. The good news is that it shares the same 124kW 2..0 liter twin cam four as the Peugeot 306 Gs.. The bad news is almost everything else.

That’s not to say the Xsara VTS is a bad car. It just… well… lacks flair. The handling is achieved via tightly screwed down suspension and roll bar settings that give lift-off over steer at the limit. The brakes are ok, but the steering is just plain heavy and lifeless..

Over all the Citroen xsara did not impress me nor my passenger and instead I found myself looking at other vehicles in the same price range and size that I could spend my hard earned cash on.

If Citroen wants to compete at this level in the market I think they are going to need a better vehicle, or Renault will definitely take that spot as Frances greatest brand.
