1990 Citroen XM Si review from UK and Ireland
"When its good its really good, but...."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor, fuel pump, onboard computer.
General comments?
Such a wonderfully comfortable car, easy to drive, everything electric, surprisingly nifty for a 2 litre automatic. Cheap to buy. Expensive to keep going! There is always something that needs fixing or replacing on an ageing XM and if you have an auto then you drive knowing that the day it goes wrong, or the suspension packs in you may as well dump the car because fixing it will cost more than another same age XM! If you know a good Citroen mechanic it's worth having one.
Onboard computer means well and is handy when it's accurate but the moment it thinks something is wrong, whether it is or isn't, it becomes really very annoying!
Good economy below 3000 revs (60mph on motorway) but lousy around town. I still want the 3.0 V6 though!
