Engine failed and could not make compression. Engine had to be replaced at 47000 miles!!
Brake discs failed.
Brake calipers failed.
CV joints failed.
Gearbox terrible. Replaced.
Exhaust box failed.
For the love of God, DO NOT buy a ZX or a Citroen.
It really will cause you problems. The pity about old french cars is that they are made of very cheap materials. Give them 5 -10 years of wear, and when giving your car a service, bolts will shear and snap, and will cause you a large financial shock!
Get an old Golf. Wish I had.
Just had it scrapped.
Not a good experience for you, but almost all ZX reviews are positive, as of the experience of a friend of us in Switzerland with his Xsara of over 10 years, my old neighbour who had 2 BXs.
Therefore your comment is based on emotion, and your bad experience with one lemon in a basket of oranges.
Get your cars checked by a pro before you buy.
