1998 Citroen Xantia Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
"A superb Euro cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tyres are very expensive.
The battery failed at 50,00 miles, and caused chaos with the computers.
The hydraulic pump and radiator failed at 85000 miles causing a bill of 1000ukp.
To replace the spark plugs you have to remove the engine!!!
General comments?
This is a superb car, but the running costs are very high.
Suspension and handling are superb, and long distance touring becomes a real pleasure.
Seats are comfortable and can be used for hours without discomfort.
