Hi,

Try this.

C#

XDocument xDocument = XDocument.Parse(xml);

            string manufacturer = string.Empty;
            var aa = xDocument.Descendants("review").Where(x => x.Element("nameofcar").Value.Equals("Audi A1"));

            foreach (var a in aa)
            {
                manufacturer = a.Element("manufacturer").Value;
            }
