1989 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"It's a Prince Naseem on wheels!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch, carb, brakes, starter motor and ball joints.
General comments?
What a fantastic little car. I have had nearly all of the hot hatches and as far as value for money and great FUN goes then this is the car!
Its fast 1.4 engine doesn't have quite the same kick as the 1.9 205 GTi (well you would not expect it to!) However it's like a little Prince Naseem on wheels, where does the power come from?
If you're thinking of buying a Nova GTE or XR2 in the same price range, wake up! This car is quicker, better looking, faster around bends and is more fun to drive than any of its rivals!
Comfortable sports seats and round switches with dials is still cool which is not bad for a late 80's hot hatch.
