1994 Citroen ZX Volcane review from Malaysia
"Excellent value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was about 8 years old when I bought it, the seats has lost some of its sponge therefor lacked good support.
Performed a top-overhaul at about 160,000 as I needed to top-up oil between services. Changed number of parts including thermostat, hoses, clutch kit, bushes and absorbers.
Radiator couldn't take the heat in the tropical climate so had to change it into copper. Mostly wear and tear items.
General comments?
Well, I always look out for long journeys in this hatch. Very fun to drive and easily surprises everyone with it's sheer acceleration power. Never had a pickup or an overtaking problem.
Despite hitting about 170kmh once, it was still raring to go.
Interior's all black and almost everyone compliments on it. Have tinted the front windscreen, therefor dashboard is still in a good condition.
