cars the same since the bad leg break . I found the Xantia quite tight in this respect. I had considered one of the more mainstream Picasso type cars but this fitted the bill for
my taste of something a bit different.
This is a Nissan 350 Z V6 engine. Slightly detuned to just over 240bhp. It can be reasonably economical on runs but the usual warning is against traffic crawling.
It drives more like a very tight Range Rover. There is no inclination to throw it about but straight line speed is vary capable and gobbles up long journeys in a fatigue free manner. The auto gearbox is Toyota type Aisin/Warner which are fitted to every type of vehicle from Volvo to RR Evoque.
Just changed the oil /filter and air filter. All readily available items and cheap. Things are tight for space as you would expect. Wishbone suspension is not bad at all having come from the Cits. It may need fettling with shocks or whatever due to 77k. The tyres are not top notch make on it either so it can be improved. Underneath it is immaculate and all the subframes /wishbones are galvanised, very high build quality. This one being Initiale is high spec inside. The seats and leather are top top quality .
I know that the Avantime had Bridge of Weir leather seats and interior and I would not be surprised if these were too. That leather is some of the finest of it's type Worldwide due to our climate here in Scotland.
Usual sat nav and cd player problems but I don't use these things myself. All else works and it has some very neat control functions and toys inside.
This will do very nicely for now
Sacrebleu! Will she not miss getting chased by Chavs?
