1994 Citroen ZX Neon review from UK and Ireland
"A boring, sensible family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet since I bought it, although there is an ominous rumbling sound coming from the front when cornering.
Trim seems a bit fragile too, although it is a Citroen, so what do you expect?
General comments?
Good points - gives a smooth comfortable ride as long as it is not thrown into corners too hard, quite economical (just under 40mpg).
Bad points - awful gearchange, I don't know if this is a legacy from the last owner or a fault with all ZX's (probably the former as it was a woman!)
Engine needs to be worked hard to give decent acceleration and is noisy at 70mph. Like most special editions it is no more than a base spec model with jazzy seats and a sunroof!
All in all a sound, if boring family car.
