1989 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"Best performing car in insurance group 10!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox bearing gone (£750 for a reconditioned gearbox).
CV joints.
Rear suspension.
General comments?
Not bad looking and handling is not too bad although the ride height is quite high so it does roll quite a lot.
The thing squeaks like hell. On long journeys the radio must be turned up or else you'll go mad.
However it is the fastest non-turboed beast that you can buy so floor it in a straight line and you forget about the squeaks.
It also comes with central locking and electric windows as standard. So you've got to weigh up the pros and cons.
