Suspension started creaking when rising.
CThis was my second car, and felt like a
Ferrari after owning a Yugo!
Like riding on a magic carpet-but with
immense body roll-this old smoker was
very comfortable and reliable transport.
Bearing in mind how much it used to get
floored everywhere the mpg was really
good and compared to all my mates
1.0 litre Fiestas and Metros of the time it was half cool with Central Locking and Electric windows!!
Got rid of it when I annihalated an Escort with in a front end smash-the BX
just came out of it with a dented front wing!
...Pants on fire!! BX's are very very flimsy cars, having plastic panels, so would not come out of a smash in good shape!!!
Why on earth would I need to lie about an accident I had 10 years ago!!
Just to make you feel better then it fell to pieces and I was hospitalised for 12 months!
Not what happened though-and bear in mind only the bonnet was plastic at the front and when hitting a D reg rusty Escort in a car weighing 1/4 again as much at an offset angle the Escort is going to (and did) crumple up.

Sorry, just having a laugh, actually the BX is a refreshingly different car to equivalent Fords etc, and have a loyal following.
