1993 Citroen Xantia LX review from UK and Ireland
"The Best Car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutley nothing for 3years: just normal servicing.
Nearly lost the car after the parking brake cooled and released in camping site in Spain.
LH electric window failed 75000miles
Suspension units needed replacement 77000 miles.
General comments?
I bought this car because of the legendary ride quality, great Peugeot Turbo diesel engine and it had looks to die for. I do not reckon Citroen or any other manufacture has produced a big saloon car that looks so perfect. Even now it is a head turner.
Performance, ride and handling lived up to expectations: though odd passengers complained of feeling car sick when piloting it at speed on mountain roads.
Fuel economy at up to 50mpg was quite remarkable I could drive from one end of France to the Other on little more than a tank or 2 of cheap French Diesel
I just loved this car
The only reason I changed it was that my mechanic said they started to fall apart after 70,000miles He was right; I kept the Car for a few more months and the suspension failed the week I put the Car up for Sale
Cest La Vie!
