1995 Citroen Xantia VXS review from UK and Ireland
"Nice, but can be expensive to keep on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The suspension went wrong - £800 to fix.
The water pump.
The radiator.
The complete exhaust system.
4 new tires @ £100 pounds each.
The glow plugs needed replacing.
General comments?
I paid £4000 for a VSX with full leather interior, I thought I had a bargain. But I spent over £2500 in the first year.
The electric mirror won't work anymore.
The car is very nice to drive, and the engine is excellent for a diesel.
Just wish I had checked the suspension before I bought it.
