Citroën ZX Estate 1.9 TD Aura 5d (1995/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap diesel med-size car for the money. Lower miles and less money than a 306!
Costs
Some parts are very expensive and insurance is more expensive than same-engined 306 estate.

On the road
Driving
Good drive generally. Plenty of go for motorways and an efficient towing vehicle.
Performance
No car is ever powerful enough. Always want to move to a bit more power. Fun to out-drag some petrol engined cars with Rudolf Diesel's engine. Even done it with a large trailer on the back!

Living with it
Reliability
Not failed me yet. Cold starting issue at moment is worn glow plugs (112+k miles).
Image
Oldish styling. Very little interest from thieves.
Comfort
Pretty comfortable and even a 250-mile treck with five adults left all in comfort and no bad backs.

Security and Service
Security
Not had any attempts yet. Only attacks come from a neighbour deflating my tires - very friendly.
Service
Franchised dealer servicing twice cost of other 'free' Citroen garage so guess where I got mine serviced.
