Xantia for spares or repairs, mot'd til November


Recommended Posts

Hydropneumatic Citroëns of the past were very softly sprung, Xantias less so, but they still waft much better than most non-luxury cars.

You notice the difference when you go back to steel springs. This car would be better than a normal Xantia as it has Hydractive suspension with three spheres on each end.It wafts along on the three spheres when driving in a straight line line but if the sensors in the system detect hard cornering it cuts out the middle sphere to stiffen response.Although it sounds dicey it is actually pretty reliable.
