Faults:

Intermittent fault on starter - replaced. Other than that it has performed brilliant. Bought car of Ebay - drove it back from Nice to Leeds UK (W.Yorks). Car is rust free and beautiful.

General Comments:

Car is faultless. I used to have Mercedes. I thought I was mad changing to an old CX. The car has a lot of little niggles (electrics) but somehow it cures itself!! and hey... so what?? - The CX is a stunning looker and always praised. How can this car ever be criticised? - Every time I look at it I swoon.

Faults:

Soon after acquiring my CX, there was a leak of LHM fluid, which lead to replacement of all the hoses.

The passenger electric window wouldn't go up. A bit of lubricant did it's job.

The headlights were getting rusty and were not as strong, but with a couple of 100W lamps, everything was OK.

Gear synchronisation from 1st to 2nd was well, gone, but no worries! Just start on 2nd gear. Great acceleration let me tell you!

Great crazy car!

It handles like it's on rails, although the angle is quite big.

Steering and breaking takes time to get used to, as it is very heavily assisted. Once I got used to it, I couldn't drive another car!

It's suspension and seat position are exceptional, and the room in there is endless!

The trim is futuristic at least, as it looks like a spacecraft, and the steering wheel turns by it self to come to the center position!

Faults:

Lots of things, though it was used for daily transport approx 60km/day and it was 20 years old. In Sydney's heat, the cooling system needed lots of attention - I replaced the radiator a number of times. An OHV or two died. Rust was a bit of a problem, but OK. Interior warped a little, again - because of the heat.

General Comments:

Like the DS, the CX is a beautiful car. I really think they will be appreciated in 10 years or so. I love them, and would own another, despite having to fiddle with it nearly every week. I would choose a 5 speed model over the 4 speed to get the most from open touring. CX's are great cruisers! Buy a much loved one and you should have few problems, mine was a bit of a dog to begin with.
