1992 Citroen ZX Advantage review from Australia and New Zealand
"A solid well built vehicle with no major flaws"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seized front brake calipers (work done 1999).
Rear brake hoses cracked (replaced 2000).
Front wishbone bushes worn.
Both front struts leaking.
Half shafts and CV joints showing some signs of wear (2001).
All these items are obviously in need of replacement now due to high usage, not because of unreliability.
Except for intermittent central locking problems, no other electrical problems to note.
The ZX was never imported into Australia so parts have to be acquired from the UK which is expensive for us.
General comments?
Very comfortable car that my wife enjoys driving.
It is a little slow because of the diesel engine coupled to the automatic transmission.
Parts are now a problem for us as we now live in Perth in Western Australia.
