1996 Citroen Xantia SX review from Sweden
"Best model Citroen ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not very much went wrong with it. The seat-heater on the drivers side of the car had to be replaced. Very common on the Citroens, it seems, because it was replaced on my new XM too.
Right mirror heater out of order. This happened after three months so I did not have to pay for it. Nothing else as I can remember. Very reliable.
General comments?
Very good on the road. The hydraulic suspension is superb. If you try, you will be a Citroen-friend for the rest of your live, believe me.
Low servicecosts, dose not use too much fuel. 7,5l/100 km. Mixed driving city/country-driving.
Very well built. No squeaks or rattles from dashboard.

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