You cleaning her up for the CXM?
Very nice! I really like the grey colour and it really suits a Xantias shape. I can not wait to get it all polished upsuperloopy wrote:And ... i've got an S2 Activa (cream leather) and an S2 V6 both in Silex Grey, 'tis the best colour by far IMO. Nice looking S1 Chris (you'll need to give me instructions about that slip ring as mine has only just come up with 'airbag fault' this morning would you believe, there's a coincidence)

You'll find the V6 is significantly better on fuel than the Activa but not if you enjoy the sport button too much! There's not a lot of difference in economy on a good run but around town the V6 wins...
I doubt you would regret it Mark, Im liking mine more and more each time I drive it.bxzx16v wrote:You have got yourself a beauty there Chris , I'm sure it will look even better when you've had some time with it . The V6 Xantia is certainly a car I could take to myself , this has got me thinking again![]()

Thanks for all of that info Mike, its good to know and very helpful.xantia_v6 wrote: To fill in a potted history of this car...
Your quite right Andrew. The box is a little strange at first when used to the normal one found in our previous XMs, however it is much better.andmcit wrote:I found growing an understanding of the autobox (and it learning how I abused it) took a little while to get
my head around as it always seemed very busy after driving the more conventional PITA stepped changes
governed by the speed of travel. Once I grew more relaxed the combo of engine box totally won over a real
anti auto sceptic. These can be silky smooth and docile but scare the bejaysus out of crappy souped up tea
trolleys. I'd suggest the Xantia is the very last of the svelte Citroëns before everything got all bloated and
heavy and N-CAP'd up so the V6 engine in yours wound have an advantage over that C5 you met bringing
yours home?
