Faults:

Rear Sphere had to be replaced at a cost of £70 in total.

Oil leak.

General Comments:

Very comfy car and quiet inside.

Rear seats have massive amounts of room, as does the boot.

Suspension is very good on all surfaces, only thing it does lack is any feeling through the steering wheel, however, it can be pushed and when it is it doesn't feel as if it wants to slide.

Fuel gauge seems to stay at 1/4 then drop quickly.

Faults:

Exhaust gases penetrate into the cabin.

It seems the EGR assembly has gone wrong.

Or the luggage compartment sealing band has worn out.

General Comments:

Very comfortable car.

The rearward visibility however is awful.

The front wiper sends water into the cabin.

I just wonder what exactly SD means - if Soft Diesel, as suggested, what is Soft Diesel itself?

Faults:

The front fog lamp is a major pain to put in place.

Right front link rod failed at 110,000km.

Right front brake unit jammed up, had to change a brand new unit. It caused a bent brake disc, had to get a new set of disc brake.

General Comments:

The car has a very comfortable ride. It is the very first European made car I've owned. Certainly more comfortable than a year 2000 Proton Wire 5 door hatchback 1.5L.

15" standard rim adds weight to the car, the vehicle is stable when cruising on the freeway.

The car feels absolutely safe on the road. It gives me a secure feeling when I'm on the move.

Back seat is the best seat!!

Engine is noisy to say the least; However noise insulation is relatively good.

I wish the automatic transmission is smoother.

The steering wheel is a little disappointing, it feels lifeless!

Faults:

- Front colling ventilator (150000KM)

(due to this high level service of clim)

- Internal ventilator (160000KM)

- Noise on rear braking system (canceling of corrosion and replacement of pap fixing screws)

- steering for coupling 180000KM

- Oil damper 210000KM.

General Comments:

The negative point is spare parts price.

Nether, it's a really confortable car with a powerful diesel motor. The engine is still running after 250000KM without problem.

I still drive at 200Km/H (in German highway of course).

A low level of noise is also very good and no damaging have appeared.

The behavior on the road is also at high level.

I recommend this car if you performed really long trip.

Faults:

Nothing.

Just changed brakes twice and oil (standard service).

General Comments:

It is a very good car, not high performance, but very reliable.

Hydraulic system id doing a very good job with keeping this car on road even in the tight corners at very high speed (unlike XM), when at the same time it is very comfortably even on the bumpy roads.

I have tested my Xantia and my fathers XM 2.0 turbo on the tight cornering mounting road in Montenegro and had bather time with Xantia then the XM even when XM is in the sport mode.

This is a very economical car, parts are not expensive and it doesn't use too much fuel, about 10 - 11L / 100km when changing gears at 5.500rpm and with normal driving about 8L/100km.

Only thing that you have to keep your eye on is the oil when you driving it fast because 1.8l 16v motors love to drink little oil when driving fast (unlike 1.8l 8v).

Fabric speakers are pretty good I just changed the stereo. Interior is good quality, no cheap plastic, everything is right in the place.

This is not a sports car, the transmission is little slow, but if you like sport driving and at the same time you want a comfortable family car buy the Xantia 2.0 turbo or 3.0 V6.
