1993 Citroen AX Echo review from UK and Ireland
"A student's dream car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cylanoid replaced at 93,500 miles.
Replaced brake pipe mountings for MOT.
Heater switch replaced just recently.
General comments?
I find this car very pleasant to drive, the seats are comfortable and the car has a nice feel to it.
The engine is quick for a diesel, though you do have to 'floor it' to get any real acceleration. For overtaking, I usually find it helps to drop to 3rd gear.
There is not all that much space in the rear (though I am over six foot), but there is plenty of space for front seat passengers.
Overall, this is a brilliant car which can be had for under a grand, it will cost you pittance for fuel (I get 65+ miles per gallon) and I have had to do practically no maintenance work on the car.
I would definitely purchase another Citroen if this one is anything to judge them on, highly recommended!!
