Citroën XM Hatchback 2.0i 5d (1989/F) Owner Review

Economy
Value
This was given to me... nothing to say.
Costs
I do everything myself. Parts are not very expensive if you look around.

On the road
Driving
Sticks to the roads like nothing I have driven. No roll in corners with sport button pushed, watch the German cars behind struggle to keep the curve!
Performance
15 year old 2 ltr injection is gutless, and loud on motorway. Fuel consumption is good however.

Living with it
Reliability
15 yrs old and it still starts first time every time. In the French MOT ratings this car is still in the top 5 exec cars beating Merc's for first time passes and reliability.
Image
My mates call me Jacques Chirac... but I spend a lot less and it isn't always broken down.....
Comfort
If it wasn't for the noise above 60mph I'd give it 5 stars for the bumpless glide.

Security and Service
Security
Who would nick this? And they wouldn't be able to figure out the handbrake anyway.
Service
Too expensive, more interested in selling me a new car. I know more than them about my car. Go DIY or Independent.
