    Really good to drive. Very relaxing, especially on the motorways.

    Never let me down yet, however I do have an occasional fault on the central locking.

    It's a family hatch, but I'd much rather drive this than a Vectra!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb. The suspension flattens, even the bumpiest of roads.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Keypad immobiliser, alarm and deadlocks - it's only a Xantia after all.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Don't really deal with Citroen Birmingham much, but they do tend to keep you waiting a long time to get any work done. See a specialist - that's what I did.
