My opinion was coloured by owning a Citroen BX. It was the worst car I ever owned, by far. Some of this was not strictly speaking the fault of the car but more a previous owner, but it very quickly ended up getting traded for an old Opel Manta once the true extent of the looming problems and overall unreliability became obvious.
I would absolutely have one of these over any predictable German – which are only reliable because they are on finance. Most German cars of this era are hideous money pits – the Citroen is not that bad despite what most people think. Great review
Just saw one in the streets, the design aged so well its incredible how it subtlely stands out among big muscular agressive cars of today, it really is an echo of Citroën's magic of old… Its classy in a cool slightly alien way, absolutely blows out every high end German design in my opinion, it just got that unique fascinating factor when you look at it in the flesh.

Yes, all very nice, but buy a bad one ( which is easy ) and you'll live to regret it ten times over !
Xantia Active next, please?
fit for a count

Wipe your shoes before you get in, man. Nice mud pit.
Decent ones are about 20,000-30,000€ in Germany about 50 on offer
I remember this car tested on top gear once about how comfortable it is very rare car
I was expecting him to say "THIISSSS is a citroen…"
Just looked for a petrol one on the german market. 20k+ euro.

Love these cars, just worry about the maintenance costs with such a complicated car going on 10+ years old.
