After nearly 7 mostly fabulous years with my Citroen Xantia V6 Exclusive, the time has come to move on. Mainly because I’ve taken it up to 199,330 miles, and I’m scared that if I breach the 200,000 mark it will behave in a similar fashion to the Bluesmobile at the end of the Blues Brothers film.
So, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just bought a new car
It is, naturally, a Citroen. This time though, I thought I’d go for something newer and more marvellous. So, I’m now the proud owner of a Citroen Xantia V6 Exclusive Mk. II
In fact, it’s astonishingly similar to the previous model. The paintwork is the same green, but the leather interior is tan rather than black, and there’s an electrically operated sunroof. The main improvements for the Mk. II (I don’t know if that’s what it was called officially, but it’s the very last model Xantia produced) are rain-sensing intermittent wipers, headlamp washers and heated front seats. There are some minor changes inside - some of the switches have moved and the stereo is newer.
So, given that I’m carrying on in the tradition of high-technology cars, I thought I might do some posts about some of the different technologies that go into the Xantia. So, there’s something to look forward to ![]()
