1989 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A couple of minor things, but they were covered under the warranty.
General comments?
You can't beat em they're great!
I've now got a Saxo VTR but it's got nothing on the GT for speed, it seemed so much more fun to throw around.
A great little rally car, I was lucky when I bought mine that it was owned by a old lady who had it from new, she keep it so well and I don't think she ever went over 50 mph. I paid a lot for it, but it was in great nick with great miles on the clock and FSH. I've not seen one to this day in any better condition.
I loved the interior with the red fleck and the plastic dash and the heavy steering, it was all part of having the AX. You can't beat em and they are dirt cheap now, but it's rare to find one with a low mileage and a good body.
One thing though, they don't rust!
And you can blow any hot hatch away with in reason!
The engine is as hard as nails.
It just kept saying "go on, give me more".
Not a bad word on this beauty!
In three years it cost me nothing!
Underrated indeed.
