1991 Citroen AX GT 500 review from UK and Ireland
"Fast and handles well, but expensive when things go wrong!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only the usual wear and tear, although my last service cost £360!
A Citroen garage have found 4 separate oil leaks from the head gasket, gearbox and 2 other places I can't remember! They think it will cost over £1000 pounds to get only the main leaks fixed!
General comments?
I'm positive my car is lacking power even though it is quite old. Maybe this has something to do with the oil leaks?
It still shifts at quite a rate though and the handling is also very good. Shame about the brakes though, seriously bad at stopping you quickly, emergency stops are practically impossible in this car!
The half leather seats though are a nice addition and pretty comfortable. The pedals are far too close together though!
I would recommend one to anyone who's thinking of buying one to make sure you check it over throughly before buying as there are a lot of duds about!
