Citroën ZX Hatchback 2.0i 16V Cat 3d (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Lots of electrical toys to play with. Cheap to pick up second hand.
Costs
Not sure! I had mine a year and I never had to spend on it.

On the road
Driving
One of the best handling hatchbacks of its day. 306/Xara use same chassis now.
Performance
Quick, but not insurance-group-15-quick. I was always left wanting more. Close ratio gearbox means you're doing about 4k rpm on motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
I never had a problem! Except the gear linkage rattled (annoyingly loud) from the day I got it to the day I sold it. I did replace most of the gearstick bushes and the linkages, but no luck!
Image
My mates thought it looked good and they are fairly rare. Looks a bit old now, though.
Comfort
Nice front seats. Big and comfortable, like armchairs!

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm, but that's it. I never had a problem, though.
Service
Reasonably helpful staff, but they never phone, even though they say they will.
