Advantages: Amazing power, yet low diesel consumption. High quality car Disadvantages: CD player not as standard
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 ... ...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. ...

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. ...
