1994 Citroen ZX Avantage from Denmark - Comments

"I love it!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Broken windshield due to stone (3000 DKR).

Right door can't be unlocked with the key.

General comments?

My best car ever, and it easily competes with cars double the price! Cornering and breaking are exceptional. I miss power steering when parking.

The 1.8l engine is quick but a bit noisy. It is thirsty, both regarding fuel and oil, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Great comfort for 2 people. The rear seats have insufficient leg space for tall people on long trips to be comfortable.

I posted the review. Now the car has gone 325.000 km.

Trouble since last:

I had the engine replaced. If I had heeded the engine fault light, this might have been avoided.

Rear brakes had difficult breaking evenly. Had to replace both break calipers, which was quite expensive.

Windshield cracked again, but isn't replaced.

Key got stuck in the lock of the left side door, and unfortunately both the lock and key broke.

Fan engine stopped working, because its controlling electronics broke. The cause was probably the Fan geting old and pulling too many amps. Hooked it up again with a home made switch.

Generator broke down, and was replaced. Probably related to the fan pulling too much current.

Wind shield wiper has gotten more noisy, but is still functional.

Rear wiper has died.

-------------------------------

The car has served me well, and is still fun to ride. However it is old now, and I'm looking for a replacement. Probably one with better fuel economy.
