1994 Citroen Xantia VSX review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable car, if you find a good one, get it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central locking seems to have phases when it works properly and times when it doesn't.
Gear box is extremely notchy.
Rear wash wipe doesn't work.
Gears are too short for the engine.
Drivers seat height adjuster broke almost immediately.
Hints of the engine shutting down when leaving my foot off the accelerator.
Warning light (STOP) comes on for no apparent reason.
General comments?
Comfortable long distance cruiser which is good on the motorway, only it seems that the gears are a bit short for the engine, but even so, the noise is unobtrusive.
Decent handling for the size of the car.
A bit disappointed by the performance from the 155 HP engine.
Excellent brakes and suspension reassure.
There seem to be a couple of gremlins which I hope do not get worse.
