1999 Citroen Xantia SX review from Norway
"Comfortable and reliable bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headlight-washer on the passenger side doesn't work.
General comments?
Here in Norway we do have a rather cold climate in the winter time - it's not uncommon with -15C degrees and lots of snow. And this is where the Xantia really excels - it's reliable and easy to start when really cold, it heats up pretty fast and it handles brilliantly when the road surface is slippery.
It's comfortable, quite fast (135 hp), reliable and well equipped. This is a used-car bargain!
