1990 Citroen BX GTi 16v review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance sports car with room for the family and their luggage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went after a week.
Window switch had to be replaced.
Had to change the ECU.
Other than the normal things: tyres etc, everything has been fine.
General comments?
A very nice car. Fast as a fast thing, but I find you have to keep the revs up. Brakes that would put you through the windscreen. Sticks to the road like glue. Leaves a lot BMW drivers looking gob-smacked. Overall one of the best cars I've driven with amazing power, I would advise anyone with a budget looking for a sports car which can carry 5 people in the upmost of comfort to buy one.
