1994 Citroen ZX Volcane review from UK and Ireland
"Economical wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little has gone wrong with this car.
Throttle cable snapped at 80000 miles, but a small job to fix.
I have had to replace one rear brake caliper with an identical one from a damaged Saxo VTR. I also replaced the brake disks at the same time as a precaution.
I have just discovered that the front suspension bush needs replacing after I hit a rather large rock in the middle of the road while driving through Snowdonia earlier this year. This has caused the usual superb handling to be a bit off recently.
General comments?
Superb car! I've owned a Scirocco, a Golf GTI and an Astra SRi and can honestly say that I enjoy driving this car as much as any other car I've owned.
The high torque output and excellent handling means you can surprise many boy racers, especially up-hills and away from roundabouts etc.
