1989 Citroen AX TXI review from UK and Ireland
"Fun, but it won't impress anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The end of the exhaust pipe had to be replaced when I went for the MOT (£47.00). Other than that nothing apart from it took some time to start after rain...
General comments?
I had little money when I bought the car, so I knew what I was going for. That's why I went for a left-hand-drive. It had spent most of its life in sunny Italy so there was no rust. The owners were great so no problems there.
Basically it got me from A to B and NEVER broke down. OK it's ugly, but at least LHD made it a bit different.
It got me from London to Valencia and back with two friends and although it wasn't the most comfortable journey we made it on a shoestring.
I would never get one again, only because now I have a Xantia, but it was well worth it when I was poor. And would do it again it I had to...
