Citroën ZX Hatchback 1.4i Reflex Cat 3d (2001/X) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Despite being the base model, very good. Excellent radio reception.
Costs
Citroen parts can be a touch expensive.

On the road
Driving
Briliant - for a 1.4, it's a cracking engine with plenty of ooomph.
Performance
Cruises happily at the speed limit (and occasionally over).
-
Living with it
Reliability
Best car I have ever owned for reliability - starts first time, every time, every day for two years.
Image
It's a shoe box, but the large windows mean excellent vision.
Comfort
Brilliant. Comfortable on long or short journeys. Better than Ford or Vauxhall. Good legroom for taller people up front and good driving position.

Security and Service
Security
Who'd nick it?!? - there's an XR3 next door, they'll go for that - but I should imagine poor (no alarm etc).
Service
Poor, but I think that was down to the particular garage.
