1990 Citroen AX GT 1.4 petrol

Summary:

One of a kind. Recommended

Faults:

The bulb for the heater-control panel went, and one of the mounts for the drivers-seat is loose. Some rust here and there..

Not had it for so long though..

General Comments:

I love this car; there is something distinctive about it. Like the red dash board light, the red stripes around the dash and especially the red stripes in the carpet. I also bought it a CD player with a red display.

I had also never thought a 1.4 could be so quick, though it is perhaps not so quick compared to Japanese cars/rice boilers..? Easy to tune though. Whatever, it's quick enough.

Feels sturdy, but that's perhaps the only positive thing to say about that.. Lies good on the road with 165 65 14 tires.

Love this car. It's like a boring, soul-less Opel/Toyota whatever driving machine, just not boring and silly - it's a Citroen. I love this car.

1993 Citroen AX 1.1 First 1.1

Summary:

Fantastic simple trustworthy car

Faults:

Only one thing, the alternator, and that is a normal wear and tear part for any car. Got a nother from the scrappy and swapped it in under one hour. £40

General Comments:

I was in need of a car and I thought of the AX. At first I was a bit sceptic as it isn't a "cool" car, it appeared a bit "plasticy" and low on quality, but I decided to take a closer look, and I ended up buying it. I have not regretted it.

The engine was surprisingly quick and it is a really fun car to drive. Small enough to fit every parking space, sneak through queues and sideways to pass the toll line for driving in the city centre. The size combined with excellent aerodynamics makes it also a very economical car, using between 5 and 7 litres on 100 kilometres. The plastic details is just the same as in all other regular cars in its class and model of year, and it is also surprisingly comfy with good Citroen seats. Again, it also feels surprisingly spacious to ride in, at least in the front seats.

The only downside is that if you were to crash you would most probably die as this car is so small..

I love it, bought this car for 350£, has never turned me down.

1989 Citroen AX GT 1.4 petrol

Summary:

Crazy fast car!!!

Faults:

The radiator was broken.

That's all there is.

General Comments:

Very fast car! Fun to drive.

With 185/60-13 tyres it's stuck to ground! There's no way to drive out of the road. You can cut corners in whatever speed you want and you're still on the road! I have reached 120 mph, but it still had more to go. I had to brake down because there was no more straight road.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
