1998 Citroen Xantia LX review from UK and Ireland
"A comfortable roomy good handling and economical car,what more could you ask for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First year of ownership (12k miles) passed uneventfully except for needing a new battery, but car has now developed an appetite for clutch cables (2)
Also had a plastic thingy on the pedal as the old one kept on popping off usualy in traffic, I am told it is a sign that a new clutch is needed (£300) New spheres this week
New rear section exhaust.
General comments?
Generally a very comfortable car and equals my SAAB 9000 for room
Purchased becuase of good fuel economy and have not been disappointed with over 40mpg (compared to 20mpg from SAAB)
Tows my 15 foot caravan very well, but could do with more power (perhaps the Hdi would be ideal, also get 35mpg+ while towing.
