Citroën ZX Hatchback 2.0i Volcane Cat 5d (1992/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I paid £550 for a 63k miles, K-reg version. Great performance and comfort for the money.
Costs
Nothing major has gone wrong yet, bar a leaky radiator. Fuel consumption is a bit steep, but to be expected from old car.

On the road
Driving
Drives great in a straight line, good performance and fairly responsiveness for age, but not much control around corners. Massive under steer a problem sometimes.
Performance
Good acceleration for an old car, especially in 4th and 5th. Good overtaking capability.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from a burst heater hose, nothing wrong in 8,000 miles and 1 and a half years
Image
Not cool, but kind of kitsch
Comfort
Seats have good adjustments. Clutch is heavy - although it is very old.

Security
