General Comments:

Very comfortable car, my children still miss it.

The suspension was no end of amusement, a doddle to drive throufg fords that left other cars stuck!

Indicator switchgear excellent, one swith on the console for left, & one for right.

Faults:

What went wrong with the car... almost everything!!!

From clutch, brakes, and exhaust to electric windows, and in particular the "hi tech" super nice suspension - never let me do a nice trip, not once!

General Comments:

Nice car, nice to drive, a little slow when accelerating, and high petrol intake.

Very comfortable, and excellent dynamic behaviour, a very safe car.

Faults:

1999 - Rear brake discs renewed (rusty).

2000 - New start motor.

The covering of the chairs is completely rotten. The bodywork has started to rust. The frame however is still almost free of rust. The motor sounds like a first world war aeroplane.

My wife feels it's embarrassing to show up with a car like this.

General Comments:

Bought three years ago for F 1000, (Euro 454). Sixteen years old now, just back from vacation in the south of France with my wife and the two kids, 2 and 4 years old.

Absolutely reliable, nobody wants a BX in the Netherlands nowadays because it's considered to be ugly.

Maximum car quality, and minimum social-status (and money!).
