Citroen 1994 ZX Hatchback

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Although the car has impressive handling, the performance doesn't totally match. For £5k, I should look elsewhere.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Group 7 seems about right. Insurance is sensibly priced. Fuel economy is very good. I frequently manage to achieve 40mpg (not bad for a 21 year old male!)

    Driving

    Well balanced suspension - corners taken in its stride. Steering is sometimes heavy. Driving position is comfortable with a wide view from windscreen.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    0-60 is less than impressive on 1.4i. Well suited to motorway driving and goes easily up to and above 70.

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No major problems to report. Sound engine and performance.

    3-door looks sportier. I like the look of the front bumper with foglights. Practical, but not inspiring.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Plenty of space inside the cabin. Seats are comfy, but could do with being firmer for longer journeys.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    Immobiliser is effective and more useful than an alarm. Steering lock is an additional feature. Both of these features, however, are standard on most new cars.
