1997 Citroen ZX SX review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, comfortable and practical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A rear shock absorber started leaking at around 25,000 miles so replaced the pair. The exhaust snapped at the rear box and had to have a new catalyst centre section. Rear shoe friction material came away and jammed the whole hub resulting in a complete strip down with new brake cylinders as the nuts were seized.
General comments?
Overall-this is the most reliable car I have ever owned and is very economic. I normally average around 55mpg which is still pretty good considering its technology (or lack of it!)
