1994 Citroen ZX Volcane review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mostly electrical gremlins. It went through 5 indicator relays in its first 2 months plus modifications were carried out to stop water getting into electrics via front windscreen and rear wiper shaft.
General comments?
The car is fun to drive, averages 47 mpg, and is quite quick for a TD due to low weight. The handling/roadholding is excellent although quite firm. The gearbox is slick allowing quick changes which you need to do for a fast getaway as the power is all between 2250 and 4500 rpm. Don't be fooled into thinking it's easy on tyres, all that torque chews through front tyres at a surprising rate.
The interior is pleasant although the driving position can be a problem for those with long legs - make sure you can get comfortable driving it before you buy one. The sliding rear seat is good for getting that extra bit of boot space.
