- My Cars: 2003- Passe-Partout 1.9 TGD estate
2005 Grolliffe Tizzydee turbo estate and sundry other BXs and Grace, a CX TRD.
2008 to 2023 - all sorts of stuff, some interesting
2024. TxD 1.9D estate. 'Wheelybin' - x 12
Bear in mind with the ZX:
Citroen started with the Heater Matrix, then built a car round it.
Rear arm bearings often chew through the rear beam before people notice they are chuffed and can not be replaced like the BX items.
Its a Pug 306 really.
It has "normal" suspension and isnt as nice a drive as the BX.
On the plus side:
There is less to go wronk.
The rear subframe ass'y makes cornering at speed fun.
The "volcane" edition is even more fun
16V are trouser stainingly good fun to drive in the wet
The 1.9D N/A engine is virtually bulleproof if looked after (unless your name is Marty)
They have a useful adjustable rear loadspace
They have galvanised bodies
They can be quite reliable (if looked after)
They can be picked up cheaply
No one will look at you twice in one.
The French Police use them (mind you the British Police used to use Allegros....)
They are simple to work on really.
