Citroën ZX Hatchback 1.9 TD Memphis 5d (1995/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Citroens are always good value - this is essentially a 306 for less money.
Costs
Great fuel economy (45mpg regularly) and the local garage are able to service etc for low cost.

On the road
Driving
Nice and straight forward. The heavy engine gives noticeable understeer, but this is not a car for throwing around corners.
Performance
Good with the turbo - need to be 2000rpm to pull though.

Living with it
Reliability
Never misses a beat. A few things (anti-roll bar ends, radiator, headlamp) have needed replacing - but it has done 120K - starts first time every time
Image
A real head-turner.
Comfort
Reasonable - great compared to the old Renault 5.
-
Security and Service
Security
I always put the stop lock on the prevent the lock being stolen.
Service
Main dealers see you as a £100 minimum walking through the door - only use them to obtain certain parts. Rob dogs!
