1996 Citroen Xantia 2.0i
Summary:
I wouldn't leave home without it
Faults:
The faults in my car were caused by poor maintenance by the previous owner. For example, the spheres in my car are on their way to hell.. I have replaced the rear spheres and I'm going to overhaul the suspensions.
The car had overheating problems because the previous owner put in a stupid japanese fan and modified the fan wiring. Got the original fan working and never had any problems since.
I have not checked the strut mountings for cracks, and I'm going to do it soon before it shoots out.
General Comments:
On the whole.. the Xantia is a fun and wonderful car to drive. I look forward to driving it everyday.
The suspension system is a dream, which makes you feel like you are floating over highways. The car corners effortlessly, giving me a kinda feeling that I can do almost anything while driving.
After I finish my work on the Xantia, I will get an XM!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Go get the XM! I just returned to Johor Bahru from Kuala Lumpur. I have a 1991 XM series 1, Bought it about 3 months back. Already made 4 trips to Kuala Lumpur in the XM (each return trip is 800kms). Absolutely fantastic car.
Today's trip I used the Semenyih-Broga-Mantin back roads... an absolute leech of a car.
No regrets getting the XM. Shortly I will head for Kota Tinggi from Johor Bahru... I am still fresh from the Kuala Lumpur trip.!!!
