CITROEN XM (1989-2000)雪铁龙闽(1989-2000)
You couldn't honestly describe Citroen?s XM as ?conservative?.你不能诚实地描述富康?收盘闽作为?保守?. ?Refreshingly radical??清新根治? or ?slightly quirky?还是?稍微不平? tend to be the two most common sentiments expressed.往往是最常见的两种观点. Whichever side of the fence you sit upon, however, you have to credit the car?s designers for having the confidence to produce something so completely different.你坐哪一侧的铁丝网后,你要汽车信贷?收盘设计师竟有这么一点信心产生截然不同. That's a rare and desirable quality, particularly in today's mass produced marketplace.那是一个难得的理想和品质,尤其在今天的批量生产市场. It isn't a recipe for soaring sales figures however, and the executive XM has never achieved the kind of success in the luxury sector that Citroen have enjoyed with their smaller cars.这不是食谱销量激增但与行政学闽从未取得什么样的成绩,豪华界享有与雪铁龙轿车较小. That doesn't mean, however, that the XM isn't a reasonable used market buy.这并不意味着,不是一个合理使用的闽市场购买. Quite the contrary in fact - as long as you choose with care.事实上恰恰相反-只要小心选择.
HISTORY历史
The XM was launched in 1989.发起于1989年的闽. Initially, there were a couple of 2.0-litre engines producing 115bhp and 130bhp, as well as a big 3.0-litre V6.起初,有一对夫妇2.0公升115bhp和130bhp引擎制作,以及大3.0升V6导.

WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
XM models are complicated - though not so much as the CX cars that preceded them.闽型号复杂,但又没有那么多,因为之前与CX轿车.

Prices start from around £500 for 2.0-litre petrol models from 1989.价格为500英镑左右从2.0升汽油从1989型号.

Insist on a service history.坚持一个服务的历史. The complex suspension system is pretty reliable, but make sure that it's been checked out because replacement parts for it are pricey.悬架系统相当复杂可靠但要确保它被检查出更换的零件,因为它是昂贵.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Surprisingly good to drive thanks to that suspension system.出乎意料的好,由于驾驶悬挂系统. You find yourself relishing country B roads, despite the car's obvious bulk.你了解自己国家的依赖乙道路,虽然车子的散装明显. You need to be careful with the foot-operated parking brake though.你必须要小心足部手术虽然停车制动. A lever on the dashboard, which can take some getting used to, releases it.杠杆的仪表板,它可以采取一些逐渐习惯、出版. There's loads of room inside and a clever touch, two rear windows.还有房间内负荷巧摸,后排两个窗户. The idea is that the second, inner glass protects the back of your passengers' necks should you raise the rear hatch in a windy rainy spell.第二个想法就是,内玻璃保护乘客回你的脖子,你应该把一刮风下雨后方舱口说明. Obviously, this is not found on the estate.显然,这不是发现屋.
