1997 Citroen Xantia LX review from UK and Ireland
"A comfortably family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only thing that plays up is the ABS light on the dash. it comes on on its own accord, but the brakes seem to work OK. key fob for central locking plays up a bit, but I take out the batteries clean them and it seems to work OK for a while.
General comments?
Seats a bit uncomfortable on a long journey. passenger seat could do with a lumber support as well.
Petrol consumption a bit high around town, but gets better on the motorway as long as you don't clog it.
Heating and air con work brilliantly.
