1988 Citroen BX GTi 16v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
12 rotor arms (£3.50), 4 safety suspension valves (£56), 2 thottle sensors (£45), 2 sets of valve stem seals (£120 fitted), in 137,000 miles.
General comments?
A very powerful and fast performer, 0-60 in 7.2 seconds 136 mph.
Can now be picked up for £500+.
Engines drink oil, brakes put you through the screen and scare the life out of anyone behind you! Corners on rails, if you can keep it going you won't get anything faster under £5000.
Sold it in 97.
