1997 Citroen Xantia review from Denmark
"An affordable, comfortable cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor failures, light bulbs, ABS-indicator (ABS is working fine)
Ventilation system is broken, all spectrum between extreme cold and hot are controlled in less than ½ cm!
Should be easily fixed, though.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable to drive, excellent for long trips.
A strange short increase in RPM when kludge is pressed. Does not drop
instantly like fast cars.
115 Horses perform well, and the soft suspension is nice.
This 'Monaco' model also has nice although low-performance air-condition.
