1991 Citroen XM V6 24v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent refusal to start, which the dealer never managed to fix, but I traced to a poor connection. Bulb failure warnings usually wrong - annoying beep everytime you put the indicator on.
General comments?
Fabulous engine - really takes off over 4000rpm. Great grip although lots of understeer on tight bends. Ride a bit bouncy at times. Very special interior, loads of room. These cars have an unfair reputation for being problematic, although they are very difficult to work on.
