1997 Citroen Xantia SX review from Argentina
"Good quality for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electric fan fell down 2 times due to electrical faults.
The rear suspension blocked due to a failure in the hydro-pneumatic system.
The dashboard lights went down with a high cost of replacement.
The brake pads don't last more than 25000 km.
General comments?
Very good quality. I had min for 5 years and will keep it for at least 2 more.
Great ride on highways.
Beautiful look, Citroen odd style.
Great interior space, very comfortable.
A little bit underpowered (2.0 petrol engine). Good top speed, but needs a little bit more reaction.
The dashboard is poor.
