1993 Citroen ZX 16v review from UK and Ireland

One coil developed an intermittent fault at high temp. The engine has a coil for each spark plug so the dealer part was only 38.00 GBP. Compare that with a blown coil on an Astra SRi I owned, 160.00. Front discs worn, 52.00 for PSA part, but ATE power discs (grooved) are only 2.00 more and do not require insurance notification according to the manufacturer (my insurer agrees), so that's what I'm fitting.

Oustanding handling, good acceleration, sharp steering, great engine, it doesn't look as good as its Peugeot cousin, but that means it's cheaper to buy second hand. However it is quicker (I've driven 306 S16 and GTi) and only the new 306 with its six speed box really has it beat. I actually look forward to long drives where I can use it, especially off the motorways where you can use the chassis for what it was designed, cornering.
