Citroën ZX Hatchback 1.9 TD Memphis 5d (1995/N) Owner Review
-
Economy

More sophisticated than it looks.
Costs
Local garage services it for very little. Good MPG.

On the road
Driving
Great fun on twisty country roads. Tiresome in town.
Performance
Takes a while to get going.
-
Living with it
Reliability
100% reliable (touch wood) but several niggles.
Image
In dark green, looks the most boring car ever.
Comfort
Ride poor around town. Better at speed. Driving position compromised for long-legged folk. Noisy.
-
Security and Service
Security
Apart from coded stereo, no special deterrent except poor image (won't appeal to joy riders).
Service
I used a small local garage. I have previous experience of Citroen dealers and specialists and they always pretend the cars are more complex than they really are.
