1988 Citroen AX 10E Splash review from UK and Ireland
"Very satisfactory small car: economical and nippy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dodgy electrics.
Rear brake valve seized.
Weak handbrake.
Minor rust.
General comments?
This has been my first car and so far it hasn't let me down.
The car seems very economical and is quite cheap to run.
Performance is OK for a 1 litre. Acceleration is fairly nippy and it copes OK with motorway speeds of 70mph+.
It is very underpowered once you have 4 people in it or heavier loads in the back.
