The Citroen Xantia was a five-door family car that was amongst the medium class leaders, mainly it was due to it’s unique self leveling suspension which provides an astonishingly good ride.
It was said that immature drivers often abused the system ( there’s a control by the handbrake ) by bouncing the car up and down while waiting for the traffic lights to change. The Xantia was described as the return of the real Citroen, though if you haven’t owned one by that time it doesn’t mean the return of the quirky brakes, the cyclops eye speedometers and hopelessly complicated mechanics.
