1995 Citroen AX Spree review from UK and Ireland
"A great economical car although poor acceleration"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet, but the first service is due soon.
The left hand speaker didn't work at first but was easily fixed at no cost.
Exhaust looks a bit rusty and the gear stick squeaks a bit.
General comments?
Can go at a fair speed for an under 1 litre engine with only 4 gears. Very slow acceleration in 4th gear but improves in third gear if you can put up with the noise. Top speed I've done so far is 85mph.
Brakes aren't perfect as you need to add a lot of pressure.
Very economical and comfortable in the front but not in the back!
Ideal for a first car.
Capable of doing high speeds but takes a while to reach them.
Very high biting point on the clutch.
Very small boot.
