Citroën Xantia Estate 2.0 HDi 110hp SX

My Dad owns a xantia estate and it is awsom!! It takes us skiing to france every year up real steep mountian roads and goes along happilly. I turned 17 last year and it makes a fantastic first car. Even though it is HUGE! The very first time I had ever driven a car and I was doing 50 comfortably... in the dark. I passed first time after just 19 hours of lessons.

Once the flurry of activity was over, it’s been a very good and competent car. Even if I’d had to spend the money on it myself, I still think it’s a good car. It does 600 miles on a tank.
