Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very fun. It has the same 1.9 TD engine that is in the Xantia and Peugeot 405 and 406. So you can imagine how easily it pulls a car around like the ZX, when it is designed for much larger and heavier cars. The handling is superb. It corners like it's on rails, and it's very agile, it glides around town effortlessly.
What's it like to park?
Easy. It's small with an good alround visability. The electric passenger mirror also helps.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Bought it as a cheap runabout to put me on, but ended up keeping it, as it has proved to be very reliable. Nothing at all has gone wrong on it, and it's still going strong.
What's most practical about your car?
The car has a surprisingly large boot for such a small car, which comes in very handy.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It has electric windows, electric sunroof and a electric passenger mirror to aid parking. It also has a pull up sunblind on the rear window. All of these are very handy, so can't really choose.
