1997 Citroen AX Dimension review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap insurance, Cheap car to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air filter had never been changed by the previous owner, and was over 3years old! This severely hampered performance, but was inexpensive and easy to change.
Plastic feeder hose for the rear washer jet split, causing my rear passengers to get soaked every time I washed the rear screen, this was cheap to replace, but wasn't easy and took a lot of time.
General comments?
The car is quite nippy right through the gearbox, but the top end speed is poor.
Nice looking, GT-Spoiler and body colored bumpers add style.
Seats are a bit soft, and are OK on short journeys. But on longer distances they become rather uncomfortable.
The car was involved in several minor accidents. I found the parts to be reasonably cheap and extremely easy to fit.
