► Summary
Were it not for the high failure rate and related problems (the car is difficult even to pack on a tow truck) XM would be a role model: large interior (especially the station wagon), dynamic engines. Next generations of suspension (of course hydropneumatic) ensure better and better driving characteristics and comfort.
Luxurious interior. High failure rate. Expensive maintenance
