November 2000

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got car for well under book price, it had only covered 30,000 miles and was in as new condition with a no expense spared full service history. Not bad for £2,000 (remember this was 14 years ago!!).

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a Citroen for my first car, after reading loads of reviews the ZX looked to be a great choice.

What was the dealer like?

Private seller, very nice people. They had taken great care of the Citroen and the sellers wife (who's car it was) was very sad to see it go.

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic handling, great steering, decent performance, quiet and refined for this time and very smooth riding. Great fuel economy too.

What's it like to park?

Easy! Large glass area and good steering even minus PAS.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Aside from wear and tear, nothing at all in 6 years and 70+000 miles.

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot, loads of interior space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Passive rear wheel steering gave fantastic handling while still riding as a Citroen should.
