1989 Citroen BX 14 RE review from UK and Ireland
"Total bargain motoring-smoother than a Merc or Jag!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator blew up-faulty fan.
Ball joint and CV joint at same time.
Ignition module.
Squeaky brakes.
Starter motor.
That's it!
General comments?
It was my first car. I was 17 and it seemed better than Nova's etc. And it was. Very well equipped for a base spec, quite quick for the engine size. Magic carpet ride, very comfortable, cheap to run.
The list goes on! Its gonna be a classic one day. I'd recommend one to anybody-I'm getting a GTi16Valve version hopefully.
Very very underrated car with bags of potential. Only real problem was the colour-beige with a brown interior! can't work out why someone would buy that brand new! avoid them-the blues and reds are nicer and worth more when selling. But lovely car and well worth £375.
