1996 Citroen Xantia LX review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump at 92000 miles.
New rear spheres at 105000 miles.
Rear height corrector at 155000 miles.
Clutch cable retainer on pedal at 160000miles.
Sump pan holed by stone; replaced at 166000 miles.
General comments?
Electrics on these and French cars generally are prone to be a bit iffy...
Fuel economy average 50 miles per imperial gallon.
This non-turbo version is a bit gutless on hills.
Very comfortable.
I'm a bass player in a rock band, and it swallows my gear without ahitch - hatchback version.
You do have to keep on top of servicing...
