1988 Citroen AX 11 TRE review from UK and Ireland

"Cheap, nippy economical little runabout"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing major so far.

However, The drivers' seat rail where it is attached to the floor has become unattached at the front, but it doesen't make any difference to the seat.

It has a slight oil leak, leaving a small puddle about the size of a 10p piece when parked.

The fuel gage is a bit hectic, it will be correct, but sometimes will jump to empty and back up again. Probably due to age, but I don't take much notice of it.

General comments?

It is my first car :)

It car is has got very comfortable seats.

The original radio isn't the best quality, but it still works properly.

Decent amount of luggage space when the back seats are put down.

Accelerator, Brakes and steering are very responsive.

Good acceleration for the engine size, but 4th gear isn't as good, but it's only really a cruising gear.

Stupidly good on petrol, will do 60-70 miles on £5 of petrol (i once got 75 miles out of it and it ran out within 300 yards of the petrol station. oops!)

Drives very well for a 16 year old car.

The view out the back of the car is the best I have ever had in a car, it makes reversing a lot easier.

The cabin is generally pleasant, it's a little dated, but still in excellent condition, apart from a few cracks on the dashboard.
