1999 Citroen Xantia Exclusive (formerly VSX) review from UK and Ireland
"Fabulous car - luxury motoring at a family car price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing went wrong with this car during the period I owned it. Fantastic!
General comments?
I bought this car because I wanted an inexpensive car that would handle high mileage, yet give me great comfort and accessories. The Citroen Xantia Exclusive was *perfect*.
The diesel was amazingly quiet, economical, yet gave great performance in the upper gears - terrific on the motorway.
The ride is fabulous; I've been in luxury cars (Jaguar, Mercedes, Lexus) that didn't ride as well.
The interior was leather, with heated seats (electronically adjustable), electric windows all round, central locking, CD changer, air conditioning and nifty wheel mounted controls for the audio system. In short, an incredible specification at a family car price.
The car *looked* great too; metallic green, Bertone styling, and came with Citroen alloys.
A fabulous motor - if you see one, buy it.
