Faults:

Where do I begin!!!!!! Driveshaft problems, minor oil leaks but most of all central locking - rather erratic to say the least despite new control units and hours of TLC!!! Also, headlamps tend to blow quite regularly. Luckily parts pricing not too expensive.

General Comments:

Acceleration on this model leaves a bit to be desired, however it's a good motorway cruiser and extremely comfortable to drive on long journeys. Don't like the single wiper system, not effective enough during heavy rain. Overall quite a well designed car with that little bit of French eccentricity.

Faults:

Radiator hose chafed on PAS pump body,losing coolant.

Sticking electric sunroof.

New front discs at 66k

General Comments:

Great ZX handling, 2.0 engine pulls like a train, easy to drive fast. Corners hard, cruises well, good driving position, accurate power steering, nice gearbox and pedal setup. Comfy supportive seats, innovative rear seat slides forward to extend bootspace (or folds).

A little noisy but worth it. Faster and cheaper than the 306 XSi it has commonality with, and I have been plesantly surprised by Citroen dealers, the menu priced servicing is reasonable if you want to keep the car on a full Citroen dealer history.

Faults:

Fuel consumption seems to be rather high, but perhaps it's a bit about hard foot too. Rear axle makes noise in sharp bumps - no cause found. Sometimes starting problems. Clutch worn out at 130,000km. Oil pressure gauge faulty. Rear brake discs worn out....

General Comments:

After all very nice to handle. Quite comfy too. Very precise with 195/50-15s.

Faults:

66,000 Miles Head Gasket.

40,000 Heater Matrix.

66,000 Paint is not lasting well, dash lights and Odometer has stopped working.

Expensive to maintain, lots of minor things always need replacing.

I use a good non franchised dealer.

General Comments:

It is a great car to drive.

I do about 23,000 miles a year on M way and country roads, but the car is declining fast.

If you buy second hand I woul'nt buy one more than 2 years old.

Faults:

A new clutch had to be fitted at 70k, the first time I have ever had to fit a new clutch in over 15 years of driving.

A handbrake cable at 35k.

Blower unit has broken down at 85k.

General Comments:

A great car to drive with plenty of punch and economical with an average of 45 mpg.

Faults:

I have had this car from new and it has had six (6) sets of front brake disks. The dealer tells me this is not unusual. I have had warranty since new so have only had to pay for one set so be warned. Everything else has been reliable.

General Comments:

The car has served me very well, I have done 85,000 mls in it and have been generally very happy with it. The seats are very uncomfortable for your back if you are over 6ft tall (I am 6ft 3in) but the suspension and handling are excellent.
