1996 Citroen Xantia LX Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Steer clear of floods!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Don't take a Xantia anywhere near a flood, I had to drive through about 1.5ft of water during the floods in October 2000, I raised the suspension to it's max, but because the air intake is so low it sucked water into the air filter which then bent a con-rod causing the engine to seize. Cost nearly £3000 to replace! Other cars were going through fine.
Not very economical, about 44mpg and I don't drive hard.
Loads of space and excellent ride quality.
Radio reception is very poor.

| Lots of room, but make sure you fit the seats, and that the suspension really works |
