2000 Citroen Xantia SX Auto from UK and Ireland - Comments

The Front suspension is on the bouncy side, I think the spheres need changing or re-gassing.

Auto Gearbox sometimes struggle to change smoothly between 1st and 2nd gear.

Steering wheel judders under heavy braking (Disc's Warped)

This is the 2nd Xantia Auto I have owned as I am a big fan of this car and I have to say it is proving very reliable so far.

The one thing I absolutely love about this car is the superb comfort and feel of the interior, as it has the luxurious mix of alcantara and velour.

The 2.0 16v 135BHP engine is well suited to the car and gearbox and on kick-down

in the sport mode it will hit 60mph in about 10 Seconds which for a big auto is pretty good although if you do this too often your fuel gauge will drop like a brick.

The car still looks good in silver and the interior has worn amazing well.

Mine is a 2000 W Reg with 37000 miles and for the price I paid it's an absolute bargain. Very Happy for the 2nd time.

Bouncy castle syndrome does indicate new spheres and hydraulic fluid required. There is a company in Manchester who can do the lot for £200 ish depending on model.

They are called Westreon (if we are allowed to make recommendations).

Citroen charge much more for this service so it is worth hunting out a specialist in your area. The Citroen Car Club, of which I am a member, has lists of good suppliers and garages across the UK and all models including the Xantia are well catered for.

I am the original writer of this review, Thanks for your comments.

If I wanted to become a member of the citroen car club myself how would I go about it?

Pleased to hear that you like your Xantia. They are good cars.

I have just taken possession of my first Xantia, had owned a couple of GSA's back in the day and was impressed yet again by the suspension and road handling of this little beauty. I too have noticed that the front end doesn't seem to respond quite as fast as the rear when it comes to rising up or down. Also have noticed a hesitation to change up when traveling around 30ish as if it's waiting for me to accelerate. Possible auto box problems?
