1992 Citroen ZX Reflex review from UK and Ireland
"Very cheap and comfortable family motoring - overlooked by fashion followers in favour of the 306"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Erratic fuel starvation fault - replacement carb (under 2nd hand dealer warranty) cured the problem.
Uneven rear brake wear - requiring replacement brake lines twice plus shoes.
Paint finish starting to oxidise in places even though garaged from new.
Dash lights failed - fiddly to replace.
General comments?
Quirky styling means it's cheaper than its Peugeot 306 sister.
Extremely comfortable, well laid out interior with plenty of headroom.
Typically French smooth ride and faultless handling.
Very easy to live with and drive - only criticism is the tendency for the cabin to get hot during the summer.
