1997 Citroen ZX 1.9D Reflex review from UK and Ireland
"A capable car, good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake cylinders leaked at 50000 miles. Wobble from steering wheel that rebalancing failed to totally cure.
Rear door lock broke.
Needed pair of replacement steering bushes at 18000 miles (which Citroen paid for due to age of car).
General comments?
Quick enough in general driving with enough performance to cruise at 80 mph all day long. Economy excellent at 55-60 mpg. Refined, quiet long distance car with a good ride. Handling stodgy, probably not helped by the weight of the diesel engine. Has been generally very reliable and cheap to run.
