1991 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"A car with unmatched handling and acceleration"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with the car so far (touch wood).
The long range driving lights are not water proof, and allow water to build up inside the lens. This unfortunately means a lot of condensation and corrosion within the light itself.
All four alloy wheels were badly corroded when I first bought the car, and will undoubtably corrode again in time. However, when polished and re-laquered, you'll be hard pushed to find a better looked set of alloys.
General comments?
This is possibly the most fun on four wheels, that the average person could purchase...
Even fully loaded, you can throw the car into corners and be fully confident of coming out still on all four wheels.
The acceleration is outstanding, matching and beating most other roads cars in the same bracket (XR3i etc).
