1987 Citroen AX TRE review from UK and Ireland
"Economical, reliable, cheap family hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! Yes that's right, no problems, I know we all get cars, some good and some bad, but this has been nothing but a blessing.
It's a 5 door 5 speed, all for £300! It's been reliable, cheap and economical, and I can't complain at all. With good regular servicing, plenty of checks, and good winter prep. Nothing should go wrong. I love this car to bits.
General comments?
Cheap and insurance, 45 mpg - 55 mpg. Not a rot box. Got to keep an eye on those brake discs, pads, and of course keep it serviced.
A well maintained car, should not cause any problems at all. Mine has had two owners, full service history, and yes it cost £300. Colour, is Claret (red), and it has been such a great car to own.
