1996 Citroen ZX Advantage review from UK and Ireland

One of the rear parcel shelf return cords has broken, otherwise nothing (touch wood).

I bought this vehicle on Ebay for £1,000 with a full years MOT. It has not let me down in any way at all, so in my view an absolute bargain and in excellent condition too!

Superd turbo diesel engine is more responsive than my old Saxo VTR. It certainly can embarrass those 'boy racers' if needs be.

Nice handling, but don't push it too hard or it might bite back. Perhaps the chassis is not as taught as the Peugeot 306 but respectable enough. I would like to uprate the rear suspension soon if I keep it.

I service it myself so cannot comment on dealers other than that my past experience of Citroen dealers is not good.

I have recently bought a caravan and I am impressed with the towing capabilities of the car. The turbo on the engine certainly helps to keep things moving.

I drive Peugeot 406's and 307's as a part of my work. The Citroen certainly beats them all in most areas and they are Police cars! I would rather have the Citroen in most fast driving circumstances.
