Citroën AX 1.4 GT 3d (1991/H) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Well, unbeatable really. You CANNOT find anything this fun, cheap, or certainly as fast for less.
Costs
Very, very good. Buy a solid one and you will have little problems. Economy is the best around, short of the diesel.

On the road
Driving
Good fun. Steering can be a little heavy compared to the modern cars, but nothing that will do your neck in!
Performance
5 out of 5 for this type of car. For a 1360cc engine, it is sensational. Well serviced and with the carburettor in tune, you will not be far behind a MK Escort RS Turbo, at least up to 80mph when things start to slow down.

Living with it
Reliability
Very good. I've had two now (first was a 1.1) and had little problems.
Image
It's very different, and quite rare now. It does turn heads, no doubt about that.
Comfort
Okay. Seats are very comfy, but due to short ratio box, you are doing nearly 5000rpm at 80. Noisy on the motorway.

Security
Rubbish. There isn't any.
