1998 Citroen Xantia activa review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door lock
Exhaust (middle box)
General comments?
Good compromise between practical family comfort & performance.
Pleasing torque & acceleration for a larger car:- track tested: 0-60 in 9.45 seconds.
Brilliant handling, but payback is harsh ride & a feeling of driver remoteness (due to loads of electronic management systems etc).
Fragile interior & electrics.
