1980 Chevrolet Citation X-11, 3 door Hatchback review from North America
"The X-11 is an underestimated performance car made by GM"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine block cracks. Bought with car.
Head gaskets blew at 470,000KM.
General comments?
I bought this car mainly for the body and interior. The interior is black and was in near mint condition when I bought the car. The interior had three peaces that needed to be replaced one was the ashtray cover because the right bottom corner cracked and fell off. The others were the headliner and the driver's side seat belt cover. The body was in good shape compared to my other three citations. It need's a new drivers side floor pan rear wheel wells and a left side rear fender. This car is under going a full restoration and receiving lots of up grades with the newer engine from a 1981 X-11. These cars are very strong you can mount so many different engines in these cars then you would ever think of. Check out this club too see what's been done to these cars http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chevycitationsforever/ every one in this club is every helpful check it out. I'm not going to tell you what can fit under the hoods of these cars you have to join the club to find out. Please if you're just going to make fun DON'T even think about saying anything. Not all people like the same things however if you're interested in learning about what the X-11 really is and can do then check out the club. This car was GM's first front wheel drive muscle car every made.
