Handle well as far as i could remember, someone i know has one and they are rather rapid and handle brilliantly specially with a full suspension kit. Think they weigh quite a lot though it is a big shell of a car

Yes they handle superbly, same engine as the 306 Gti-6 except there is more power at the wheels as its going through a 5 speed box as oppossed to the Gti`s 6 speed. Dont know what the kerb weight is but never know a citroen of this class to be heavy? pugs and citroens probably lighteset cars in their class right across the range. Only thing going agaisnt it is that its often viewed as being ugly, WRC kit would look superb though.

The S16 is 155bhp and the last incarnation of the mi-16 engine. The Gti-6 and Xsara VTS use the newer 2.0 167bhp lump.

Fit a Full system exhaust and a filter and you will happily get around 180bhp as has been proved by a few that i know of

Viper Filter (Induction kit)
