1994 Citroen ZX td review from UK and Ireland

I bought for the ridiculous price of £600, a pure bargain, so I was well aware there would be problems with it..

First thing to go was the alternator. £150 repair bill.

Next I had to get the exhaust replaced, £180. but it's a common problem with ZX's.

The central locking is wierd to say the least. I can only unlock the car from the driver side. No other lock allows the key to turn?

I tried fixing one of the passenger doors, and now unfortunately the door refuses to lock in sync with the rest of the central locking. mildly annoying!.

Theres also a missing light on the dashboard.

A really good car to own. Considering its age, I'm more than happy with the build quality. Driver airbag, side impact bars and seat pretensioners as standard.

Usual single windscreen wiper is a little hard to adjust to, also considering I'm quite tall. just doesn't clear as much of the screen as I would like. Also the seats seem to be designed for the midget in mind, and the head rests would still cause my whiplash even on the highest setting.

There are a few knocking sounds going round corners? but I put these down to the wierd suspension setup.

On the plus side, the acceleration is really good. if it were legal, I would be able to drive upto/peaking at 110 mph on the motorway..

The back seat comes right off, a good feature more cars should be using.

All in all a very good car, I will be buying from citreon in the future.
