Back in the '90s, Nissan managed some dreadful cloth interiors, too. They were nicknamed "Interior by Mothercare"...russ92xmsed wrote:Mmmm, one of the worst interior trims the XM had.

I think on the whole 90's car interior were a low point. Not all, but there were some horrendous ones.

MMMMM i remember very vividly the stunning euro tartan cloth used on so many mid 90's low and mid range cars, this very euro tartan graced the inside of my Activa, which was removed swiftly!

Re: A serious 2.1?
The standardl XM seats never seem to wear out, I had two at around 300,000 miles and there was no apparent deterioration of the fabric, or stitching.

Re: A serious 2.1?
Been watching this for some time. Due to my previous 2.1 Auto issues, it's put me off getting another automatic. Shame because it looks like a very nice car.

Re: A serious 2.1?
The sed has been a bit butchered and. I mention of mileage or gearbox oil changes and parking sensors? On an xm sed... That's surely a heathen thing to do to one!
The sx is in Northern Ireland whih immediately puts most prope off when you factor in ferry crossing of around £100 to most people, flight of £30 and then the fuel back if you can squeeze it all into a day or the other half fancies a weeknd a way in which case the cost will go up even more...
Makes mine look almost bargain basement priced!
