1997 Citroen Xantia VSX review from France
"No surprise with this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Front colling ventilator (150000KM)
(due to this high level service of clim)
- Internal ventilator (160000KM)
- Noise on rear braking system (canceling of corrosion and replacement of pap fixing screws)
- steering for coupling 180000KM
- Oil damper 210000KM.
General comments?
The negative point is spare parts price.
Nether, it's a really confortable car with a powerful diesel motor. The engine is still running after 250000KM without problem.
I still drive at 200Km/H (in German highway of course).
A low level of noise is also very good and no damaging have appeared.
The behavior on the road is also at high level.
I recommend this car if you performed really long trip.
