Citroën Xantia Hatchback 2.1 TD SX 5d (AC) (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought nearly new, so have suffered a bit with depreciation. Next one I buy will be a little older at sale date.
Costs
So far so good, however I steer clear of main dealers. 80,000-mile service is pricey though (about £430).

On the road
Driving
Have to say I love it... previous VSX was better with switchable suspension.
Performance
For a diesel... much better than the 2-litre petrol I had before.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No major problems... A/C leak only thing apart from services.
Image
Image?? It's different to all the other Euro-moulds. I like it! (but then again, I don't tend to care about image!)
Comfort
Like going for a ride on a magic carpet. Motorway cruising fabulous. Seats as big as armchairs and LOADS of legroom front and rear.

Security and Service
Security
Standard fit alarm and immobiliser.
Service
Dont tend to use main dealer - went to enquire about trade-in against same model, same year, with 30,000 less on the clock (mine has 78,000) and they wanted £2500 + my car. Customer service?? Don't go near them!
