Citroën AX 1.0 Elation 3d (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy, but they look cheap and feel cheap.
Costs
About £25 a week for petrol in a 1-litre engine isn't that good in my books.

On the road
Driving
Most uncomfortable car ever, unless you have no spine and one foot. The seat is too high, the roof is too low and there is nowhere for your left foot, so you have to ride the clutch. Not good!
Performance
Marginally faster than walking (exept uphill!)
-
Living with it
Reliability
It did start every time, just to spite me!
Image
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - no!
Comfort
If you are over 5 feet tall, do not even look at this car - it will cripple you!
-
Security and Service
Security
No security to speak of, but I often left it unlocked in the hope someone would take it but sadly they didn't. This car is its own security device!
Service
Not serviced through a Citroen dealer, although I never had any problems with them when I had my Saxo.
