The scenario: both the European car workshops in town have now said they won't work on my 1999 Xantias, one no Citroens at all and the other if it is fail to proceed/ major breakdown (It is too old). Nearest Citroen dealer is about 200 k's away. So I'm thinking I may need to replace my 99 SX daily driver with almost 125000k's on it with something newer. (Towing my GS fits within weight restrictions).
Used usually just for the driver to go shopping (30 k round trip) a couple of times a week, and to go thr 300k's to Brisbane every couple of months.
I'd prefer a wagon or a hatch with less than 125000k's, not sure I need as much room as a Picasso. I'd prefer petrol but know that limits Citroen options in recent years. $15 to 20 thousand spend possible.
C6 - are they now too old and too complex?
C5X7 - most have too many K's, and they seem to be aging with a range of (possibly minor) issues.
I've already been there, done that with the DS3, not the best tourer and few late ones around.
Don't seem to be a lot of DS4 or DS5's around with low k's.
Always found C4 sedans to look a bit ordinary, so would one be much better than buying an easily serviced Corolla?
Thoughts (just to confuse me more and allow me to procrastinate for longer - I really like my Xantia)?
