1992 Citroen AX TGE 1.0 petrol
Summary:
Crap
Faults:
Battery.
Brakes.
Dashboard lights.
Starting problems.
Gearbox didn't get in reverse anymore.
Clutch.
Locks broke.
Faulty fuel gauge.
General Comments:
Acceleration is not bad for such a little engine, but it lacks top speed.
The tires lack grip, especially in the wet. In sharp corners I hear strange sounds. Handling isn't good.
The bodywork is very thin so dents and scratches are the result.
It only has 4 gears and the gearbox is noisy.
I give one piece of advise: Never buy an AX!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

This totally reliable AX 1.5 diesel has now travelled 120,000 km and has just undergone a major 60,000 km service including a camshaft belt change and full adjustment of everything.
Over the last 10,000 km it has remained ultra-economic with an average fuel consumption of 4L/100km = 75 mpg or better (with the driver only).
Worst fuel consumption has been 4.7L/100km on a faster (70-80 mph) motorway run and 4.3L/100km with one passenger on a fast country road trip.
