Citroen 1994 ZX Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Plenty of car for not much money. Depreciates a fair bit though.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Local garage servicing, nothing nasty just a few extra bits.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Engine a little unrefined and prone to light pinking, sharp grippy cornering despite body roll.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Satisfying, revs freely and very torquey especially at low revs.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    100% in 15 months and 20,000 miles. Now done 89K.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Looks smart in black with the standard alloys but doesn't stand out.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Could do with less exhaust boom, otherwise a good long-distance cruiser.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Locks and keypad immobiliser won't stop a determined thief. No alarm, but non-standard radio size.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The local garage have had to talk to Citroen once but got what they wanted easily.
