1990 Citroen XM Sei from UK and Ireland - Comments

23rd Nov 1997, 00:00

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Loads. Leaking head gasket & overheating. Suspension spheres. Electric windows sticking down. Climate control with a mind of its own. Air conditioning leaks. The list is endless.

General comments?

What's good? - Loads of neat design touches. Different.

What's not so good? - Everything else. No wonder no-one else does it like this. Ancient, thirsty and rough V6 is lumpier than most 4 cyl engines.

Overall? - An electrical and mechanical disaster zone. Avoid old XM's like the plague. If you want to be different, try painting your hair green instead. It's less expensive.

Nonsense! I've got a 1991 Sei and its great. Yes it has problems, knackered starter, Ignition Control Module and other trivia, there are some bits of trim missing or broken and I've had to modify the window mechanisms.

But let's face it these are OLD CARS. Name me one that doesn't have problems!

What other car gives you all the comfort, pace, poise, road presence, space, style and downright individualism you get from an XM?

Vive la Citroen!!!
