LOLage in the extreme, I like that phrase and shall be using it!Vanny wrote:Jim, an ACTIVA is not a Xantia, it has few if any traits of a Xantia, and is really just a crazy French experiment gone very very right.
Have to say, the couple of Activa's I've driven were bloody awesome machines, but I really think the 2.0CT lump lets it down, it soooo should have had the V6. yes I know you can get LHD V6 Activa's, but they should have made factory RHD Activa's with the proper engine.
Never driven a leather seated Xanty, but I've never yet driven any Xantia that I found comfort in, somehting thats very important to me at my old age.
Amen bro!Vanster wrote: But my biggest and real bone with the Xantia is that they are so disconnected from the road on which they role. Some people would say they are simply more refined than a BX, i say they where trying to make the Xantia like other cars, perhaps german cars, boring, dull, disconnected ( i wont say reliable), with big thick high doors, blergh.
But the ACTIVA, mmmm, reasonable engine, bit bargh like but so amazingly disconnected from the road it doesn;t drive round corners it floats at high speed!
I prefer the AX over a Xantia!
I rather like the AX aswell, but ONLY if it's the GT. Having driven a few, no other AX compares.
I love 'em to bits...
