"French piece of crap on wheels"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Pretty unreliable for a major manufacturer and mass produced model.

Binding rear brakes.

Constant whistling noise from door seals above 55mph.

Faulty fuel gauge.

Window winder fell off.

All this paid for from my own pocket!! Should have bought something German or British instead of this French piece of crap on wheels.

General comments?

Wouldn't advise this car as a good piece of reliable transport. It never let me down but the niggling faults sadly made it an annoying traveling and ownership experience.

Don't think I would buy from Citroen again. If I did it would be from a main dealer with a warranty.

I have driven an AX Spree for 4 years and had no problems with it. I only sold it because I now have 2 little kids and needed the extra space, so I have now got a Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.8 SX.

...And come on- it must be better than a Talbot Horizon!!

I have had a Cirtoen AX Spree for nearly 10 years and it has NEVER let me down. I refuse to buy a new car much to my husband's embarrassment.
