1990 Citroen BX 19 RD review from UK and Ireland
"Bargain long distance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bearing in mind the car is ten years old, the following things have gone wrong since I got it.
1. Alternator belt broke
2. Ignition lock broke
3. Water pump failed.
All repaired at a reasonable cost by a local Citroen specialist.
General comments?
I got this bx after a long line of Citroen's and am very impressed with it. Bearing in mind that this was a very cheap car to buy, it is very comfortable, reliable and enjoyable to own. I gave it a low rating for running costs because the insurance grouping is, in my opinion, too high. Fuel economy is, however, brilliant (50+ mpg).
To summerise, I would recommend a BX to anyone wanting a cheap car with high levels of equipment and an unbeatable ride quality.
