1997 Citroen ZX SX review from UK and Ireland
"Quick and fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brakes stick on when reversing.
Silencer has corroded through.
Alarm is on the blink, always has been, probably always will be!
Eats handbrake cables.
General comments?
This car is surprisingly fast especially once you get the turbo going, wheelspins at the slightest provocation in the wet!
It handles brilliantly specially round corners, the result is heavy front tyre wear.
The suspension is a little soft, but then makes it very comfortable, the occasional 200 mile journey after 9 hours on your feet at work is surprisingly comfortable.
The bodywork is a bit thin, and this version has no rubbing strips on the doors, as a result I have several dings along the sides from other doors being opened into mine.
