Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down yet, however I do have an occasional fault on the central locking.

It's a family hatch, but I'd much rather drive this than a Vectra!
Comfort
Superb. The suspension flattens, even the bumpiest of roads.

Security and Service
Security
Keypad immobiliser, alarm and deadlocks - it's only a Xantia after all.
Service
Don't really deal with Citroen Birmingham much, but they do tend to keep you waiting a long time to get any work done. See a specialist - that's what I did.
