1990 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"Lightweight box of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew.
Radiator had to be replaced.
Radiator pipes had to be replaced.
Hand brake stuck on in cold weather locking one of the rear wheels.
Brake caliper needed replacing.
Wheel bearings had to be replaced.
Dodgy electrics (windows, brake lights).
General comments?
My car may have been an example of a lemon, but it was extremely unreliable. It was so much fun to drive though that this made up for it.
Interior is cheap and plasticy, and body wise this is not a strong car. Brakes are quite poor. None of that matters though - the essence of this car is that it's huge amounts of fun, light, fast and the engine sounds great and begs to be spanked!
Handling is fantastic!
