1997 Citroen ZX SX Elysee review from Iceland
"A Very worthwhile bargain, whatever the mileage on it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust box & cam belt, but that happens with time anyway.
Spark plug leads at 87k miles, got front wishbone bushings changed twice in 40k miles traveling, and all 6 on the car 2k miles ago.
General comments?
EXCELLENT DRIVE for a hatchback. I'm not a boy-racer, and there's no modifications on the car, but it comes through every time I demand it.
Very comfortable. I've done 300 miles journeys with only two stops max along the way... just to pee! Don't feel fatigued after driving.
Actually got 0-60mph in under 9 seconds, and the specs say it should be 11!
