It was a crying shame that we never got the Activa V6 in this country that our European neighbours got - judging by how good and inexplicably under-rated the UK Activa was, with a V6 in place of the lame 2.0 Turbo it would have been awesome.
Really bizarre car to drive though the Activa - absolutely no roll or pitch at all, just stays level no matter how fast you launch it into a corner and - in the dry at least - offers eye-opening amounts of grip. With some slicks I could easily see it scalping some fairly serious machinery on track.
I've never really seen the appeal of "normal" Xantia's though over say the equivilent 406.
