1997 Citroen ZX Temptation review from UK and Ireland
"Good all round car, fun and easy to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cam belt was replaced at 61000 miles as a precautionary measure as it was starting to look a little worn.
There is some rust on the mounting for the forward fog lights.
The only other problems are superficial dents and scratches.
General comments?
Very speedy compared to other 1.4 models, including more modern cars.
Very light inside, fun to drive, roomy, handles very well, responsive, great for learners or new drivers.
Has difficulty getting up steep hills in the rain, which is unfortunate as I live on a very steep hill and have to park at the bottom on the main road when it rains.
Otherwise it is a very good car.
