Xantia i - Would I Buy It Again? Yes!

Hello. Perhaps my opinion will still be useful to someone. Would I buy a Xantia again? Absolutely yes. The car is truly exceptional and unique, but before you decide to buy, you must find someone who knows at least a little about suspension. Contrary to appearances, it's not complicated to repair at all, at least the basic version without Hydractive. Unfortunately, most people who consider themselves mechanics will say they won't do it. Because they are not mechanics. If you want to buy...

Pros: Truly exceptional and unique, Suspension is not complicated to repair (basic version)
Cons: Finding a mechanic knowledgeable about the suspension can be difficult
