Citroen 1994 ZX Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Citroens are always good value - this is essentially a 306 for less money.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Great fuel economy (45mpg regularly) and the local garage are able to service etc for low cost.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice and straight forward. The heavy engine gives noticeable understeer, but this is not a car for throwing around corners.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good with the turbo - need to be 2000rpm to pull though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never misses a beat. A few things (anti-roll bar ends, radiator, headlamp) have needed replacing - but it has done 120K - starts first time every time

    A real head-turner.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable - great compared to the old Renault 5.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I always put the stop lock on the prevent the lock being stolen.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Main dealers see you as a £100 minimum walking through the door - only use them to obtain certain parts. Rob dogs!
