1996 Citroen ZX Elation II from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Performance for pennies!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starting was quite difficult at about 70,000 miles. This was fixed by replacing the glow plugs - about £20 for 4 (Citroen dealer quoted £200 for the job!)

The front discs and all tyres needed replacement at 98,000 miles. These were the first new tyres since the car was new (I've got all previous bill!)

General comments?

For an 'old technology' diesel, this is a seriously quick car! Many BMW drivers have been embarrassed! Take the spare wheel out, and it can get under 10 seconds 0-60!

I've got upwards of 50 miles per gallon on longer motorway trips. The average is about 500 miles from a 47-litre tankfull.

My wife and I find the seats rather unsupportive. Its more like sitting on the seat than in it.

No way can anyone get 98,000 miles off a single set of tyres! If you can, you should work for Michelin or something!
