1991 Citroen ZX Reflex review from Bulgaria
"Marvellous small-family car for very little money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket replaced due to oil leak - $50 for parts and labour.
Servo check/fix - $35.
New exhaust pipe (last section) changed. Thank God that Catalyst is fine!
General comments?
Outstanding ride - assured roadholding, soft suspension, quick and precise steering. Passengers sometimes do not notice cornering at all!
Interior is well laid out, seats are comfortable, there is enough room for 4 to 5 people, suitable to tall drivers. I've put 9 marks to comfort only just because I've driven my friend's XM :-)
The engine is willing (although 1.4 only), accelerates well in town, as well as on the motorway. The average fuel economy is <6L/100km on a long trip. I've also driven my colleagues ZX 1.8 Furio, go for it if you find one!
Very good rust protection - after 10 years shines like new.
These cars are very underrated here in favour of Ford, Opel and VW. If you once got such, you'll never ever look out for a German car!
