1990 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland

"Fast but crap"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well the clutch cable snapped.

The electric window decided to stop working.

The gear linkages went and the brake pipes split, which was dangerous.

The boot only started opening when it felt like it.

The head gasket blew, then one month later it went again taking the cylinder head with it.

I also found that the engine mountings were loose.

And it needed new shocks. Other than a couple of air-locks, I think that's it, but I could be wrong.

Oh yes the seats no longer lift up unless you are the world's strongest man.

General comments?

This car is more than fast especially on acceleration.

However mine broke down about 3 times a month so I didn't feel the full benefits.

This car is made out of paper foil - probably why it's so quick, however if you crashed you'd probably die.

No too bad on fuel, but you spend more on fixing it.
