Citroen often have a repututaion for making outrageous, individual cars. The only thing that is outrageous about the Xantia 2.0 Hdi is its remarkable fuel consumption, power and how great an all round car it is.
The Hdi delivers power unlike almost any other diesel car on the market that I am aware of yet offers extremely low diesel consumption due to the innovative way Citroen hav edesigned this engine. Possibly only Audi can compete on this scale but as a reasonably priced family car they struggle. As always with modern day Citroens this car is extremely reliable and a joy to drive with that famous Citroen suspension making any surface extremely smooth. It has many small added features which others manufacturers charge for as added extras, so many in fact I couldnt even start to list them.
I can only encourage anyone looking for a family diesel (or even petrol fans) to go and test drive this car. You will be pleasantly surprised there is no doubt and may help that ever difficult decision of which car is best for you. There is no doubt this car is one of the best in its field if not the best. Trust the French to produce another quality car !
Advantages: Fast, comfortable, economic Disadvantages: Few
I had one of these cars (with the variant 2.1 turbo diesel engine) for 3 1/2 years. I sold it 4 years ago and to this day I regret doing so - it was simply the best car I've owned (out of 10, of various makes.) If I tell you that I'm now driving a Merc, that should give you some idea of my opinion of the Xantia.
After 3 1/2 years, there were no faults, no squeaks and no rattles. I was mightily impressed. It went like stink, making even Golf GTi ... ...drive from Lancashire to Aberdeen on little more than 1/2 tank of fuel. Four years on and I still occasionally see my old Xantia around - I've genuinely thought of approaching the current driver and offering to buy it back.
I think Citroens are vastly under-rated. ...

Advantages: comfortable,spacious and great value Disadvantages: none
The CitroenXantia2.0HDi estate is a great family car, I purchased a v reg 6 months ago and have never had any problems with it. I also find it very cheap to run compared with other estate cars and have saved quite a lot compared to my old car which was also a diesel. It is also a great towing car, The Xantia has towed a caravan all over the country has has never let me down,even up steep roads i have no trouble sticking to or just under the speed limit. The suspension is also fantastic it seems to float over speed bumps so that you hardly notice them. I would have no doubts in recommending this car to anyone. ...
