Front suspension spheres unreliable.
Suspension takes up to 3 minutes to rise.
Have discovered that this car drinks hydraulic fluid like there's no tomorrow.
Basically the Xantia is a great ride and easy to drive. There's plenty of head and leg room even though I'm 6ft5 tall.
The suspension is very very good once it's got going... but for the first few miles it's a little bit solid.
Tyres are cheap, and it doesn't wear them out excessively.
Very easy to park due to the lack of overhang at the back.
Replace the suspension spheres and change the LHM fluid regularly - suspension problems will vanish. Advanced engineering needs preventative maintenance!
