1999 Citroen Xantia SX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver door dropped on hinges.
Wiper mechanism failed.
Water ingress into gearbox on 2 occasions.
Car was supplied with overtight throttle cable resulting in 68mph top gear idle speed.
General comments?
A previous Xantia featured all these faults plus suspension failure.
If you need a reliable car to do high mileage, don't touch Xantia with a smelly stick.
