Nope all 3 are housed in the PSA area (to allow for SWMBO's 206)

What sort of kit do you get o the early vxs modles. Compered to the later exculsive modles. Plus was they a modle up from the vsx. On the early ones.

its the suspension that flicks from soft to hard dependent on what the sensors are seeing (i.e. are you driving quickly etc) its very good indeed. RE Changer, i think so, but i'm not 100% its standard fit on the VSX

I always found my Xantia and XM estate dead easy to park. Loads of visibility, and unlike a small car, when you turn the steering wheel - especially when reversing, things far away at the back end happen slowly, so it's easy to correct immediately.

Worst car I had for parking was also the smallest - Ford Puma. Poor steering lock, awful rear visibility. Brilliant in every other way though.

I'll go along with that :-D The Estate has much better rear visibility and accurate parking ability than the Xantia hatch...
