1993 Citroen ZX Avantage review from UK and Ireland

"Cheap and generally chearful so long as its been looked after"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Light bulbs blow all the time.

The fan for the heater works on an intermittant basis

Fuel injection problems, stepper motor (expensive to fix!)

Head Gasket starting to leak, as oil in header tank.

Drive shafts, two in cars history.

Battery, 3 in last two years!

General comments?

Brakes fade easily when used in a hot climate, also not up to the job of stopping the car from speed.

The gear box is obnoxious when cold.

The car sounds like a diesel

Lack of power steering a serious omission as need biceps bigger than big daddy to park

Not that fuel efficient around town.

Needs to be driven above 80 mph before engine quietens down, then it drinks fuel like its going out of style.

Interior is comfy, if not a bit bland, also electric windows in 2 door version are very slow.

Good on tires, as only had to put one set on in 5 years.
