Thanks for this review of the Citroen Xantia - I'm also a Citroen fan and I got married in one in exactly the same colour in 1996! The ride of the hydropneumatic suspension is really wonderful - it actually feels like low level flying over the road, and when one brakes, the car remains level and poised.You're really lucky to be it's owner - here in Singapore, there is high incentive to scrap cars over 10 years old so there are no more Xantias here. Citroen has stopped making this suspension :(
