Bazza boy beater
Well nothing yet, I just have a knocking noise on the gear box when changing gears and I was wondering if this is normal on the mk1 AX's. If you know email me on metal_belly@yahoo.co.uk.
Apart from that I'm a hells angel in it.
Cool car, nice suspension, very comfy for a small car.

Bargain!
Electrical faults concerning the headlights.
A jerky motion when accelerating hard.
Nippy, shifty and if you're a young first time driver, get one.

AX GT - I love you!
New CV joints.
Head gasket blew.
I wanted one for ages, and when I got a mint one I was WELL happy.
I put a Pipercross on it too which made it even better!!!
Best car I've ever had - I've got a Saxo VTR now, but the AX is quicker!

AXGTs are the most underrated car ever!! Cheaper than a VTR, much quicker and not nearly as common. Great cars.
I also have an AX GT, but I have decided to put a saxo cup engine on it :) 140hp!! I'm Portuguese, in VDG (bridge Vasco Da Gama) I have a top speed of 250km/h. Citroen rules!!
Small and smart pocket rocket
Overheating.
CV joints.
Wheel bearings.
Fuel pump.
Very fun and quick car to drive. Better performance with a powerflow exhaust and performance airfilter.

A good economy super-mini
Seized brake calliper - 61,000 miles.
Cracked distributor cap.
Re-conditioned gearbox and a new clutch at 67,500 miles.
Two new exhaust boxes.
Broken weld on the driver's seat.
Far less rust prone than most British contemporary super-minis.
Has never broken down, very quick and nippy around town.
Comfortable seats, quite good quality trim and a soft suspension with bags of grip.
Still gives superb economy on motorway runs, 50+ mpg.
Overall, reasonable performance and cheap to run and insure.
Rear seats fold down to provide plenty of space.
However, parts are too expensive and sometimes require unusual tools.
Uses quite a lot of choke on short urban runs.
A little noisy at high speed and prone to wheelslip in the wet and bodyroll when pushed hard.
Tends to sit on its springs when loaded with 4 adults.
I still prefer driving it to comparable Fiesta/Novas of a similar vintage because of the easy gear change and the quick acceleration.

A wild fast french car
As I bought it when it was off road it needed some work to be brought up to scratch.
I have had a new brake and exhaust sytem.
New tyres (partly my fault for hitting kerbs!!!)
Also the central locking has disappeared!!
More recently the master cylinder has decided to go too.
I think these are one of the most wicked cars on the road. They are popular, but not too popular so they are always a head turner.
Seriously fast but I would not recommend going round corners too fast in the rain as the car spins out of control due to it being so light. I am a girl therefore I show all of the other boy racers what a woman driver can do in one of these cars!!!!
I love it to bits and would definitely get another one!!
The only small car I know which can burn off an XR3i.

I have an AX and raced a VTR, and know which is quicker as I left it behind. £700 as opposed to £6000, I know which one I'd choose.
