1987 Citroen BX 19TRS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
190,000 from new, regularly serviced.
Very little: 2 Clutches, 1 radiator, 1 set new sphere's, 1 pressure regulator, 1 accumulator.
General comments?
This has been an outstanding car, very reliable that just seems to keep on going. The engine feels as though its just run in. Very responsive, massive amounts of torque, and can be pushed to 125mph (autobahns).
The gear box is quick & smooth with no sloppiness. The ride quality is excellent. The bodywork and interior are showing its age with rattles and creaks but no rust. Overall this car has been excellent with many European journey¹s completed and never breaking down.
Best Tip: Keep Servicing and Synthetic Engine Oil.
At a non Citroen Garage.
