You feeling OK Doc?
We'd better get you to hospital smartish.... Sounds serious...
Alot of what I say about the Xantia is just taking the piss.
Personally I dont really like them.
I'd rather have a proper Xantia, it's called an XM.
But as a blandish eurobox car the Xanty aint totally without merit.
I know enough people that like them, and ok, they're almost certainly all clinically insane, but meh, in essence, they aint all that bad.
They just aint for me. They were never a drivers car, and I like drivers cars. The Activa was a beast, but had a shit engine, and anyone that disagrees is wrong on this. The 2.0CT is fucking shit.
The 3.0 V6 24valve is a lovely, lovely engine, although the bottom ends are a tad fragile.
Either way, I shall always take the piss out of the Xantia, it replaced the BX and I prefer the BX (although the Xantia was built better without doubt) and I think the Xantia is a miniature XM to look at, and I'd rather look at, and drive, an XM.
So, the Xantia isn't for me, but, at least it has proper suspension, and still has chevrons, and compared to alot of other euroboxes from other manufacterers of that time, it is a good car.
There you go Dickie G, you may quote, feel appeased and be joyous.
BTW, I'm a tad pissed!
And I do my damndest to avoid hospitals. I spend enough time in them as it is!
And over the years I've used up all my stamps, and all of everyone elses on here!
So I hope you're all fit and well!!!!!!
