Hi everyone. Glad so read so many pertinent comments for once on Youtube. Yes, Citroën did a great job with that suspension system. I'm french and worked in the US for a couple of years with a teammate of mine who knew a lot about all the Citroën suspension systems, including the one introduced on the first "Traction 15 CV". Passionates are everywhere and that's fine.

@sigkil because activa hydropneumatic suspension was really expensive to continue production... :-(

interesting, in the DS-s hydraulic system is actualy the opposite effect. The two sides of the front and rear suspension are interconnected, so when in a curve the body rolls, the oil is pressed from the inner side to the outer. It works against the anti-roll bar, and presses the wheel on the outer side to the ground. It is done so to maintain tractoin at both wheels, but this way the body roll is bigger.

Hi,
There a three types of hydropneumatic Citroën suspension :
- 'classic' such a introduced on the DS (and found on the GS, BX, Xantia, XM)
- Hydractive (I, II, III) with one extra suspension sphere (one in front, one in the rear), such as on some Xantia, XM, and all C5 and C6)
- Activa, with hydraulic rams leveling the torsion bars, so the car corners perfectly flat (well 0,5% is allowed). This system, also calles SC-CAR is only to be found on the Xantia Activa (1995-1997) !

If the other car was not a Maserati?
Citroën is already one of the best brands, right?
The Citroën Xantia is a wonderful car.
It's extremely comfortable to drive.
