1989 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"Great fun if you can ever get it going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went at 108,000.
Wipers.
New pads and discs.
Not much else apart from a daily starting problems, still unsolved.
General comments?
This car is seriously quick for the size of the engine, it's also very light but this can be a real disadvantage in the wet because driving at only normal speeds can become difficult and dangerous.
The brakes are very bad, for the power of the car, even with new discs and pads they still are rubbish.
It looks good from the outside and the interior, but is very flimsy and dents very easy.
