Citroen 1994 ZX Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not very sought after, so used prices are low. Hard to find as much car for as little money.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    40 mpg, and no repair costs so far in a year of ownership.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Smooth, comfortable ride, but a lot of body roll when cornering.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good for a 1.4i,. Low gearing helps acceleration but means a lot of noise at 70 mph.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never broken down or failed to start.

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Old hat compared to the Focus and even its sister 306, but you won"t get laughed at.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Good seats and driving position, but few comforts - Neon is a base spec model plus a sunroof.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Can't imagine it being too hard to break into.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never used main dealers - too expensive.
