1998 Citroen Xantia Sensation review from UK and Ireland
"Very poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front disks @ 1 year.
Occasional random dashboard indicators.
Rear suspension @ 2 years.
Creaking clutch cable.
Creaking seat.
Front windscreen wipers park incorrectly.
Occasional blue smoke from the exhaust.. (sticking valve stem seal?)
General comments?
Very disappointing car.
Poor fuel consumption (petrol).
Unreliable. Fails to instill confidence. The least reliable car I've ever had... even a Morris Marina was more reliable.
Desperate depreciation.
The dealer seems unable to fix intermittent faults.
