1989 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, cheap and feels it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric windows - faulty.
Heater squeaks like mad and drives you crazy.
Wheel bearings need replacing.
General comments?
The car is frighteningly quick off the mark. Beats all the Nova boys especially the sad 1.4SR.
The car as standard looks good and the 0-60 time with some mods should be sub 9 seconds. Not bad for a car that cost only £900
Handling is not bad but needs to be lowered for ultimate cornering.
Build quality lets it down as it feels like it's been glued together.
