1986 Citroen CX GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Underrated but thirsty work of art"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing expensive, you do tend to replace parts on a CX before they become a problem mainly out of paranoia.. most hydraulic faults were due to lack of servicing by previous owners.. engines have unusually high torque and could tow a train!!!
General comments?
Loves motorways.
Excellent ride quality.
Variable power steering is a gem.
Bit of a barge around narrow country lanes.
Pininfarina inspired styling (same prototype as the Rover SD1)
