Xantia Vs 406

Unread post by mongoose100 »

Has anyone driven both the V6 Xantia and the V6 406?

Just been comparing, I've noticed the Xantia has a lot more engine noise, but far superior comfort...

Thoughts on both? Thought they were pretty much the same vehicle

With a v6 engine id prefer to hear it. Whats the point of a v if you cannot hear it... :-)
