1988 Citroen BX 16v GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap to buy, but a bargain at any price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing too much whilst using the car, when first had her a few jobs needed sorting out. they were...
Suspension hydraulic spheres
tyre's
hydraulic return piping
interior trim rectification.
General comments?
A good looking car with no rust or knocks whatsoever. Haven't seen many other cars at this mileage that still look and drive this well.
Its is very fast if you press the loud pedal, but is also supremely flexible at low speed. For instance 1100rpm in third and will still pull away from slow moving situations easily and effortlessly.
