Citroën ZX Hatchback 2.0i Volcane Cat 5d (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Purchased from auction. Genuine example cost peanuts.
Costs
Service myself, so ok (despite 6000 mile sevive intervals). Citroen parts pricey.

On the road
Driving
Nimble chasis, good turn in, grip average. Dated design shows flaws in bodyshell - flex.
Performance
Big lump, little car - adequate.

Living with it
Reliability
Had the usual electrical gremlins and a stalling problem that is still giving trouble after MAP sensor replaced and throtle bodies cleaned.
Image
Looks nice from the back. Front and side view very dated. Not classy!
Comfort
Supple ride and smooth over rough surfaces.
-
Security and Service
Security
Standard security poor - thin metal and cheap-feeling locks.
Service
Mis-diagnosis of problem (that cost me £120). Service manager seemed uninterested! Turned up on agreed day, but forgot to order the part needed!
