Excellent workhorse

Excellent towing car, very economical for its size. Reliable and classic looking estate car.

A very practical yet sporty car
Manufacturer recomends one click of the suspension every 12 seconds, it was around every 7. It was a faulty pump.
Excellent car all in all. Very similar to the Citroen BX, but built a lot better. The 1.9 TD engine delivered a lot of power for towing my caravan and the fuel efficiency when towing is much better than a petrol would be.

After the last service the rear ride height corrector rod was dislodged, which meant a return visit the next day - irritating. Then the same thing happened a month later. Get the feeling it was more the garage than the car. One of the horns stopped working. That's it.
The Hydractive suspension is superb, and offers noticeably better cornering with its ability to 'firm up', than the regular suspension. Bigger tyres also help!
Comfortable, relaxed driving and a wonderful engine, which has even managed 55mpg on a tank when I am not in a hurry - can't complain at that.

Engine seized at 58,000 miles. Fortunately repaired under warranty.
Eats front tyres.
Suspension spheres went at 20,000 miles.
Lots of front brake pads.
Nice car, 45 mpg without any problem, but let down by persistent faults, and high cost of repairs.
Also, if you get seasick, suspension might not be to your liking.
Pity about the faults, as it's quite a nice car.

Oil loss from suspension due to leak. Heated seats stopped working! Both fixed by dealer quickly but they failed to order the right parts twice. Rear mudguard fell off - just like it did on the BX I used to own!
Incredibly comfortable. We have twice done 800 mile journeys in the car with minimum fatigue. Very spacious and does especially well on motorways. Worth buying the up-spec SX for extra comfort.

None, it has run 180,000 kilometers, I bought it at 150,000 Km, a year ago.
It's a good reliable strong working car, which never fails. The only trouble with the standard diesel is the slow acceleration. The turbo diesel is better on that.

Electric roof motor failed when open, stereo refused to pick up anything other than Radio 4 and traffic reports from 3 counties away.
Remote locking failed after 10 months.
Good, quality car. Excellent PSA diesel engine, superb ride, good equipment levels, nice unusual styling.
Good dealers, although I don't like their policy of only giving you a Citroen AX when your car is in for a service. Doesn't look good when turning up for meetings.

If you have the estate, keep an eye on the front door hinges; the welds break away. Citroen do not want to know.
