1992 Citroen AX Debut review from UK and Ireland
"Not bad, but not great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable snapped.
Horn not working.
General wear and tear on the interior.
Starting problems.
That's it so far, though it did need some tender loving care when I got it, and has had a complete service.
General comments?
Initial acceleration is not bad, but the car seriously lacks top speed, and the 4 speed gearbox makes any sort of motorway journey a serious slog, and the pedals are badly placed. The tyres are thin and lack grip, especially in the wet, and rear view is a bit restricted. On the other hand it is nice, if not fun, to drive and parking is easy. Seats are quite comfortable, and fuel economy is excellent. As a city car it has a lot going for it, but don't expect it to set your pulse racing.
