Citroen 1994 ZX Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very cheap to purchase now. Better value for money than an equivalent Peugeot 306.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great fuel economy and cheap to service and maintain.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good handling and ride.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Quite sluggish compared to the Turbo Diesel but at home cruising on the motorway once you're up to speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Have had a few engine problems but they usually have a good reputation.

    Image

    1 out of 5 1.0

    No image really, hence the cheapness! Looks better in Volcane or Aura spec.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Soft seats and ride, but good driving position is hard to achieve.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    No alarm or immobiliser, but I'm not worried!

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Older car so used independents.
