1995 Citroen Xantia VSX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After the last service the rear ride height corrector rod was dislodged, which meant a return visit the next day - irritating. Then the same thing happened a month later. Get the feeling it was more the garage than the car. One of the horns stopped working. That's it.
General comments?
The Hydractive suspension is superb, and offers noticeably better cornering with its ability to 'firm up', than the regular suspension. Bigger tyres also help!
Comfortable, relaxed driving and a wonderful engine, which has even managed 55mpg on a tank when I am not in a hurry - can't complain at that.
