1998 Citroen Xantia Desire review from UK and Ireland
"A roomy luxury carriage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leak into front footwell, caused electrics to play up. Replaced plastic trim at base of the front window. Now fixed.
Electric window switch on centre console failed. Replaced.
General comments?
Excellent ride and fuel consumption of 33.3 m.p.g, and that's not always crawling, is really impressive.
Will cruise at 120 m.p.h easily, although not that quick to get there.
Aircon is superb.
