1996 Citroen Xantia Break review from Brazil
"Lot's of space and comfort for a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I fist got this car in February 2002 I took it to a dealer to get a check up... well what I got back as a list of about 25 items that had to be changed, after one week waiting I finally could got to drive it around...
For about 2 weeks, than it just decided to dump all the oil from the motor. Another week and finally it got fine...
Well sort of... I still get some oil drops on my garage.
The hydroactive suspension really feels sort of bouncy most of the times, but now I've just found out that's really easy to fix that up myself.
General comments?
Even though the car gave me a problems in the beginning I like it and would recomend to anyone who want's a big and confotable car for not much money. Just make sure you are buying the car from someone who took well care of it.
