1989 Citroen BX RD review from UK and Ireland
"Unloved by many... Their Loss! :-)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to change windscreen wiper...
And that's it!
General comments?
Well this car is never going to have been owned by an "Max Power" reader! :-)
If you are looking for a reliable, predictable car where performance is certainly not an issue, then you could do a lot worse than this! Especially at the prices these go for.
People seem very cautious about the hydropneumatic setup. It is like anything else, keep it looked after, and it is reliable. Neglect it.. and prepare for large bills!
Economy wise, this runs on vapours!
I cover 500 miles a week & it always averages 55mpg! Truly amazing on fuel for something of this size.
All I would recommend is to avoid the base RD model as the seats are awful! (I am now sourcing some seats from a higher specced model).
