1993 Citroen Xantia Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The 1993 Citroen Xantia 1.9 diesel that I used to own was a very good car. The handling was amazing and the comfort is like no other. I used to look forward to settling down into the front seat settees on a journey and get there smoothly and quickly and without using vast amounts of cash thanks to the economical diesel. bad points about the xant mainly are all suspension oriented,its difficult to fix and usually a specialist garage job and usually costs more than your average struts n springs type car. It is a car that I would deffo think about getting another one of brilliant cheap and comfortable car - fantasticFeb 20, 2010

The 2.0 8v 123bhp engine is loud, uneconomical, unresponsive and slow. It does provide a reasonable quantity of torque though. Hydraulic suspension fun to play with, expensive to fix. Also sounds like a piece of construction equiptment with the amount of strange and bizzare noises it creates. The example I drove had a Sebring double exit back box, which looked really smart and didnt make an unnessesary drone. The ride was unpleasant, and used to bang and crash it's way over bumps. The brakes are hard work, with on or off settings on the pedal. Driving position is awkward and uncomfortable. Considering its a big car, the driver doesn't seem to benefit much from all this space. Everyone will assume you are a taxi driver if you own one.Dec 24, 2008
