@ash7990 Not in the sence of it millions of pounds went into the development of the xm,of course looks dont appeal to everyone but one of the greatest designers Piniforino designed the car that went onto win design awards,and if you had ever owned one youd know how the streamlines had made minimal noise level around the car,same said for the ds cx all of which were very streamline,tell me what car is beutiful in your eyes and what made you watch this video,
These are from way back when Citroen knew how to make crazy but interesting cars. I like the C6 now, but people say it can't stand a chance against its German, Japanese, and Swedish competitors. The XM and the Renault 25/Safrane they are some of the coolest cars the French have built for the past 30 years or so.
Today I removed all the leaves and dirt form my newly bought 1992 XM D12 Break. It's been standing under trees still for a year. I also vacuumed it, and then I cleaned all the fabrics in it (door and floor covers and seats) with a water washer for carpets, The water got extremely dirty :P Now I just need to get my engine changed (the current is leaky), and my license, then I'm ready to go \o/
All that driving around in a lovely old Xm, making sure his wife got her cellophane wrapped present, and all that time she was having it away with the local fisherman!
Great car of it`s time! And surely worthy of the title European Car of the Year 1990! Unfortunately FOR NOW it is the last Citroen with this title. But I think that things are channging for the better for Citroen.
you know ill say if its french its the best! i jiust like everything that french did my mom has a citroen xantia break 2.0 hdi exclusive its the best car ive ever driven in and my uncle has renault safrane 2.0 16v no comment about the quality of it i preffer them more than any german or american car
LOL this car is amazing..dont talk if u dont know anything.. car is awesome,and if someone doesnt like it,then sell it to me.. i would sleep in IT! :PP
I have one rotting in my backyard. These cars are terrible. They're full of whacky gadgets that are prone to malfunction, making this car highly unreliable. A good example of this is the suspension system. This one failed on me more than five times since I had the car. Even after 8 months of age, electronics started to fail. And the best part is when the car won't run at all because of some unimportant electronic malfunction. Even American cars are more reliable than this.
so youd like to ride in an xm well ive fitted soft spheres to mine and no kidding it resembles the ride of an aircraft,as far as probs with elecs go its all down to the connectors the go gangrine and if you wd40 them all then youve beaten the probs they so suffer from,mines a 92 and everything works right down to every bulb in the doors switches and centre cosole that most people have forgotten were there,Bon Voyage.
Yes your right there a few years ago i used to see thm lined up in scrap yards with great burn marks in the middle of the bonnets but since then i learnt that you keep the pipes in good nike.
I wouldn't diss owners of another brand. I love Citroéns as much as anyone, but the buildquality is bonkers compared to most other brands.
My local taxi driver actually had two XM's. None of his motors fell a part, so it must have been 12v. The first drowned in a flood. Both of them where wonderful cars, and was the same green as the car in this advert btw. I loved riding in them. So comfortable and quiet, and the pur of the engine on top of that.. I wouldn't mind owning one:-)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Then I don't see how my car is any more advanced then this car. My car has all wheel steering, my car has torque split awd, my car has weight leveling suspension, and my car has 350 horsepower. Somehow I fail to see how the Citroen is anymore advanced then my car.
This is not just 'weight leveling suspension' in the XM. It's a suspension created to make the car as comfortable as possible. The car was first released in 1989 and even today there are few cars as comfortable as XM. And all the electronics inside... again even today many modern car owners can dream of that equipment. But to be fair... XM is not an unfailing car. It's cheap to buy byt expensive to keep in good condition. Im getting one as my next car :-)
It isn't. I don't believe anyone said your car was less advanced than the XM, what with it being a completely different class of vehicle. You seem a little defensive, perhaps insecure...
Skylines. Good cars. Not remotely comparable to an XM, since they're so utterly different. One is a luxurious, softly sprung, practical executive car, and the other is a highly engineered RWD or all-wheel drive sportscar.
Most XM owners aren't insecure and compensating, though...
My car is to this day one of the most echnologically advanced vehicles in the world. As for rubbish can, I'm sure your mom Rover is a much better car.
I did not expect such commet but anyway you can stick whatever you got between the Skylines of your family members as all junky imbecile do. So you can produce more monkey members with the ass on the face.
Your brain ain't working as you don't have it at all.
I like Skyline only as an excellent sport car in NFS (PC-game) but Citroen Xm is the LIVING LEGEND and you cannot understand it if you never had a car with hydro.
Be quiet, this was obviously a debate, and you popped your head in cause you think you know best.
I've driven BOTH, obviously, and it's a damn near 20 year old car. You may love the GT-R in video games, which is something only a 13 year old finds pleasure in, but I enjoy it in real life.
MORON, tell to your fucking bitch to "be quiet" if you find one to be with the sucker like you. I've driven BOTH, obviously Obvious bullshit. and it's a damn near 20 year old car. Yes, still the LIVING LEGEND to feel like small God. I am currently in Germany which means: UNLIMITED SPEED, enjoy real life and NEED FOR SPEED. Keep your GT-R , drive it like granny, enjoy it in real life and go finally back in you cave you popped from.
Ciyroens are for the enthusiast,you cant compare jap cars as these cars are in a world of their own,as for build quality,i had a c36 amg merc,and both cars are solid ans my xm has sports suspension,to suprise other drivers like yourself on bends,my merc didnt do that,
I have also the XM V6.24 in the same colour Vert Véga and leather interior. A lot of comfort and a lovely design. With this ZPJ4 engine, due to the torque and engine sound the XM is very sporty.
they weren't very reliable cause they had too much tecnology for the time...heated, electric seats and mirrors and many other things even actual cars don't have...
anyway it's the one of the most comfortable car ever made
What Ford created was the first mass production car in History. Cugnot build the first automobile, with a steam engine...about Panhard, I don't remember, I should have a look at some books.
Car created by ford - HAHAHAHAHA ... you seem to live in the Australian outback and know nothing about history of the world at all ... First steam car is made in 1769 in France and America and Australia didn't exist back then ... And Daimler Benz did the first petrol engined car in Germany and the second after was again French and the third was British and just then Americans start to get any interest of building cars ...
That's right. By Charles Cugnot. Most people don't know this (world's first automobile). Ford gets credit for mass production but often falsley gets credit for first assembly line. I think that honor goes to Panhard?
Henry Ford and Andre Citroen ware big friends ... Citroen saw from Ford the production line in Detroit and build bigger factory in Paris to become car-saler No1 in Europe at the time and he showed Ford how to do advertising in return - you need to read some car history ... and the model T ware technically way behind Citroen's in the same time ... it even wasn't driving nothing like today's cars ...
If you want to see an XM in full bore action, see the movie "RONIN" with Robert DeNiro. The film features some of the best chase scenes ever recorded. Citroens are the world's most innovative automobiles.
Une exceptionnelle Auto, à tous niveaux, confort, sécurité, pérformance. L'ésthétique à pour certain, avec l'image de marque, été le facteur de son relatif succés commercial, à tort...

Nothing wrong with the ride of an XM, untill you have to break or corner suddenly. Then you notice it is a heavy and cumbersome beast.
