Citroën Xantia Hatchback 2.0i SX 5d (1994/L) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy, but low resale value.
Costs
Engine management system failed £350, then the ABS computer £250. Had to replace the suspension globes 5 at £40 each. Basically, when things go wrong it's expensive even if you use a non-dealer garage.

Driving
It's a great car for motorways but not for country roads. Basically it wallows.
Performance
Good top speed but accelaration is nothing to write home about.
