Citroen Xantia Reviews from Serbia

When I bough the car, the previous owner said that he has replaced few things regarding transmission and steering.

In my hands, she had a problem with air condition fan brushes, and I had to replace one front sphere.

Sometimes (especially cold weather) the steering wheel is rock hard when the car is first started-and it is so for 5 minutes.

The softest car I have driven and the roomiest cabin.

The feeling when seated in the rear is presidential:-)

Great road holding despite it's 'soft look.

It only needs a bit of German precision in the engine and the transmission.

In the future I`ll be looking this type of suspension again-it is very comfortable and reliable-no matter what happens to it.

We have lousy roads here in Serbia, but this car literally "irons" the bumps.

And yes, it is very cheap in Serbia (for the money I can buy a crappy golf 3 `94 here) so I can afford to buy it anytime-cheap parts also.

Nothing.

Just changed brakes twice and oil (standard service).

It is a very good car, not high performance, but very reliable.

Hydraulic system id doing a very good job with keeping this car on road even in the tight corners at very high speed (unlike XM), when at the same time it is very comfortably even on the bumpy roads.

I have tested my Xantia and my fathers XM 2.0 turbo on the tight cornering mounting road in Montenegro and had bather time with Xantia then the XM even when XM is in the sport mode.

This is a very economical car, parts are not expensive and it doesn't use too much fuel, about 10 - 11L / 100km when changing gears at 5.500rpm and with normal driving about 8L/100km.

Only thing that you have to keep your eye on is the oil when you driving it fast because 1.8l 16v motors love to drink little oil when driving fast (unlike 1.8l 8v).

Fabric speakers are pretty good I just changed the stereo. Interior is good quality, no cheap plastic, everything is right in the place.

This is not a sports car, the transmission is little slow, but if you like sport driving and at the same time you want a comfortable family car buy the Xantia 2.0 turbo or 3.0 V6.
