Advantages: Comfort, space - this car has it all.

Disadvantages: Expensive to run and to maintain

My XM was only a couple of years old when I bought it - it was the top of the range model with leather seats etc. etc. and was a real pleasure to drive. Yes, it did drink the petrol a bit, but it was after all a huge car, and as I bought it in order to carry goods for my job, it was ideal for the purpose. Had a lot of fun in this car and it was relatively trouble-free for most of my ownership. The funky handbrake was a real novelty; a bit tricky to get used to but when I had got used to it, I found it much more efficient than traditional handbrakes on other cars.

After a while, the ride became bumpy; the garage said the spheres had gone. The estimate of £1,000 to fix it was just more money than I had, so the car had to go, much to my disappointment, into part exchange for a smaller car which was at least roadworthy.

I really miss my XM and would definitely have another one!

Summary: Great car, if you can afford to run it.
