1999 Citroen Xantia review from Finland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This was an exceptional car - no faults at all during 5 years and 90000 km - only service every 20000 km. For comparison my earlier BX had problems and I was ready to change the brand.
General comments?
Comfortable and roomy.
It needed constant driving on good roads. But on bad roads and on ice it was good. Even won the best winter car title.
Seats went soft after 5 years use and that was the main reason to change it.
