1994 Citroen Xantia SX review from UK and Ireland
"Unbeatable family motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS sensor failed, £50 to fix (part), at 150k.
Handbrake cable snapped, £20 to fix (part), at 130k.
Fuel pipe cracked next to the turbo (both cars same week!), £25 to fix.
General comments?
Nothing comes close for any serious long distance work. The only nicer diesel I've driven is a BMW 330D at £30k.
My cars (I have two Xantias) have covered 300k miles between them, I service them myself and they both do 55+ mpg.
The more miles that are piled on the better they seem to run, more power, better economy - figure that one!
