1990 Citroen BX TGE review from UK and Ireland
"A future classic, and everyday reliable and practical car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The accumulator ticks, but it's just wear and tear.
General comments?
The car is well equipped for its age; better than the 2000 Xantia I previously owned.
Goes very well for a 1.4. Extremely responsive on the throttle and brakes.
The car is very comfortable and handles a lot better than expected (better than the Xantia), so would well recommend it over the Xantia. Also a lot cheaper to run tax and insure.
The dash is quite bland; dull grey plastic and no power steering, but a pleasure to drive.
