1995 Citroen Xantia SX review from Slovenia
"You can't help yourself becoming a fan of Citroen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear spheres had to be replaced at 40000km (100 DM for renewed ones).
General comments?
This is a car you start to adore. I'm again and again overwhelmed by its secure riding in relation to the soft suspension.
Performance is quite fair, the car accelerates smoothly due to nice torque. You can use maximum speed for long motorway journeys (it's below rev limit).
And if we speak of comfort: today I sat in Opel Vectra and I thought I was on a bench.
I'm just longing for some Citroen originality, but these days it seems to be gone.
