Nothing as of yet.
Have recently bought this car with three months tax and seven months MOT for £170. It needs a little tidying, and is hardly the fastest thing around but it has averaged 62 mpg which is what I need as my other car is a 2.5 V6 Cavalier which at best does 32 mpg.

It's a Prince Naseem on wheels!!
Clutch, carb, brakes, starter motor and ball joints.
What a fantastic little car. I have had nearly all of the hot hatches and as far as value for money and great FUN goes then this is the car!
Its fast 1.4 engine doesn't have quite the same kick as the 1.9 205 GTi (well you would not expect it to!) However it's like a little Prince Naseem on wheels, where does the power come from?
If you're thinking of buying a Nova GTE or XR2 in the same price range, wake up! This car is quicker, better looking, faster around bends and is more fun to drive than any of its rivals!
Comfortable sports seats and round switches with dials is still cool which is not bad for a late 80's hot hatch.

Biggest pile of unwashed pants
Alternator, alternator, alternator and the alternator. Wheel balance permanently out.
Not strictly mine - it's my friends but I drive it from time to time. I have to say this is the biggest bag of spanners to come from France! Performance is poor at the best of times - 0-60 in about 14 secs - I drive a 205 diesel and average it in 11 secs!

My first car was a 1.1 RE and it had a 0-60 of 10.2 seconds as standard, so either you can't drive or your car's shagged!
11 seconds- I very much doubt it! I've had a 205 diesel and mine did it in about 16s, down a hill!
Hey concerning the first comment about the "AX TRE", there is no problem with the alternator, Iv'e beaten auto electricians to it!!! its just the wiring loom from the alternator to the starter then to the battery, problem can be resolved by cutting an old jump lead to size, putting on the right connectors then literally go from the back of the alternator were the original wire comes from to the positive side of the battery, sorted, and this and my advice has saved loads of pounds too many people anything else just ask!!!

It's a hairdryer in a crisp packet!
One brake line snapped - bit dodgy!! & the gear box - but it's okay, we just tied it back together again!! Fun stuff.
Really quick! For a first car after only having driven a diesel learner car it was a bit of a shock to race all of my boy racer friends in turbos and the like and win!! I did (do) drive a bit quick though!!

I have had the AX GT for about 5 months, and not much has gone wrong, apart from a brake problem (compensator )and the dash bulbs tend to blow many times....
Apart from many rattles it seems to be quite a good car....... SO far!!!!!
The little car is quite fast, with good acceleration. At higher speeds the car tends to shake and rattle a bit.
Bodywork very very thin, and can dent very easily!!!
The Citroen AX GT is generally a very good fast small car!!!

High mileage problems (106k on original running gear). Brake master cylinder, blocked carb (cos of K&N filter), tappet clearence, cam cover seal.
I have uprated the exhaust, suspension, sound system, interior, brakes and wheels/tyres for aftermarket items. Makes all the difference.
Fantastic car, quick, agile, good looking and insurance friendly. Has all the bits as standard. Always starts 1st time. Brakes are shocking, uprate them before anything else, or you may have a close encounter with a wall! Highly recommended 4 people looking 4 cheaper alternative to turbo cars etc.

Having upgraded engine, ie Kent Cam, Gas Flowed/Ported Head, Janspeed etc. car was too fast, quicker than RS Turbo's. Lowered suspension but car too flimsy. Something always goes wrong: Warped head, suspension mounts, clutch, radiator, fan.. the list is endless.
Never tune a car - especially an AX.

Head Gasket blew, dash lights blow every 6 months, HT leads replaced, alloys heavily corroded.
A wicked car to drive (quick for a 1.4 and handles well). It's just not very good to own. The body is so thin it dents in a slight breeze, and the interior is very rattly. Expensive parts compared with Ford/Vauxhall.

Small sporty, very comfortable, and I like the bottle holders.
Shame about the insurance.

New clutch, clutch linkage, Carb fault and Battery.
Suspension too soft. Brakes awful.
OK as a town car only. Cost more in parts than my BMW!

Which cliff have you pushed your 205 off specifying that acceleration data?
BTW I achieved to improve my 11TREs acceleration from 13.7 to 11.3 only with driving it properly.
