1986 Citroen CX 25 GTi Automatic review from Netherlands
"Very smooth and comfortable daily driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Repairs until now:
Electronics (cooling fan wiring, fuel pump wiring, flywheel sensors) are not too good. Best to check the condition of the wiring regularly and clean the connectors.
Further: Wear in rear trailing arm bearings.
General comments?
+: Smooth, fast and very comfortable. Spacious. Good sound dampening. Beautiful styling. Cheap insurance as the car is a classic. Running costs low and car is mechanically very reliable.
-: Fuel efficiency moderate. Electronics suffer from wiring corrosion. Older cars suffer from corrosion of the doors and bootlid. Some parts may be difficult to obtain and one needs a specialised workshop that knows what they are doing and that doesn't charge a fortune for a repair.
