still not found yet, i try to make appointment for one of the xantia owner and until today he didn't pickup the phone (maybe he had changed his mind). currently i'm looking at mudah but most of them already sold. today found one in mudah with price tag 5500, unfortunately it is diesel. hmm, can we jump to conclusion that xantia start going "pupus". I'm looking for audi a6 right now, the price also look very good (below 10k). The issue now is the road tax quite high (most of audi a6 have 2.6 engine which cost 1000+ for roadtax only). In term of comfort suspension, definitely xantia will be better but in term of noise,feeling,seat audi is better.
Actually i'm still prefer citroen with hydropneumatic suspension (i'm not really interested with citroen's spring suspension) rather than audi.

Hi,
While looking for xantia, yesterday i test drive A6 C4 1997. The price is really attractive (10k) and then i decide to test it. It had 2.6 cc capacity which i believe will give more power despite the heavy body.Below is my review compare with xantia
1. The car have very very very good cabin which eliminate all the wind and road noise. Xantia also eliminate those kind of noise but not as good as audi
2. The handling also very good with very minimal body rolls.
3. The body is heavy compare other car with same class which make high speed feel at low speed. Drive 130km/h like drive 80km/h
4. The car have slow starting (low torque) and really not suitable for city environment. Very good for crusing.
5. Road tax very high(about 1000+ per year), my friend told me avoid 2.0 as the engine underpower to carry that beast.
6. Spare part are expensive compare with xantia
7. Chop spare part also not much available in chop shop (may be i'm not looking thoroughly)
8. Smooth gearbox transition.
9. The car feel solid and when you are driving it, I really feel luxury, this kind of feeling is not available in xantia
10. Good suspension compare with other spring suspension (of course cannot beat xantia, xantia is master of pothole and uneven road)
11. The interior is very neat like merc & bimmer
After considering all the fact, i make a decision to stick with xantia.
tomorrow i have another appointment to meet another xantia. Hopefully i will got a good one.

Just wanna to share that i just bought citroen xantia yesterday. The interior look good except some of the seat already torn but i believe not very expensive to repair it. The exterior also look very good. At the engine part, there is some jerking (might be plug or cable plug having the problem). There is small leaking on hydraulic at one spot. Other than that, this car have some problem with accessories such as side mirror motor not functioning well and small2 item. The link rod also have problem (not so expensive to replace it).
No leaking at the engine bay
Exterior look very good
Bought these car for 8k and currently prepare about 1k-2k for wear and tear. Current milage is about 230k. Tomorrow i plan to change faulty cable and link rod at my home.
