Faults:

Build quality was pretty poor. Seemed that the car was just hastily thrown together. First year my father simply went around and screwed on loose parts. A lot of parts were glued on and fell off. My father used epoxy glue, and these parts never became unglued again. Front seat frame broke. Had to be welded together again. Most emission stuff was dismantled, after that the car went much better.

My sister took over this car when my mother got a new car. She drove this car into the ground with zero maintenance or care for the car. Also, it rusted pretty badly in the end. Rear axle almost fell off due to rust, and it was scrapped. Did not pass safety inspection. By then it was a rolling wreck, although mechanically it was good.

General Comments:

My mother really loved this car. Surprisingly fast and nimble to drive. A few initial problems with build quality that was sorted by my father and a local garage, and after that the car was pretty reliable. More irritating than serious problems, like the gear knob became unglued. A shame we didn't take more care of this car for the longer run. It simply rusted to pieces.

Faults:

Seats are worn.

The left and right inner door covers are badly sun damaged.

General Comments:

This car was previously driven by an elderly gentleman who took great care of it and put hardly any kilometers on it.

Faults:

Engine block cracks. Bought with car.

Head gaskets blew at 470,000KM.

General Comments:

I bought this car mainly for the body and interior.

The interior is black, and was in near mint condition when I bought the car. The interior had three pieces that needed to be replaced. One was the ashtray cover, because the right bottom corner cracked and fell off. The others were the headliner and the driver's side seat belt cover.

The body was in good shape compared to my other three Citations. It needs a new driver's side floor pan, rear wheel wells and a left side rear fender.

This car is under going a full restoration, and receiving lots of upgrades with the newer engine from a 1981 X-11. These cars are very strong; you can mount so many different engines in these cars than you would ever think of.

Check out this club to see what's been done to these cars http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chevycitationsforever/. Everyone in this club is every helpful. Check it out.

I'm not going to tell you what can fit under the hoods of these cars. You have to join the club to find out. Please, if you're just going to make fun, DON'T even think about saying anything. Not all people like the same things, however if you're interested in learning about what the X-11 really is and can do, then check out the club.

This car was GM's first front wheel drive muscle car ever made.
