General Comments

I have nothing but praise for the Citroen AX GT 1.4, it looks great, handles great, it's quick, doesn't drink much fuel, never ever breaks down, only small things have gone wrong and they have cost peanuts to put right. I have a 91 J which I bought with FSH 9 months ago with 64k on the clock for 400 quid! I had it serviced and it passed its MOT with only a wheel bearing at fault. It is full original spec apart from I have had the alloys diamond cut (look sweet), and uprated the front brakes with grooved discs and sports pads (great improvement). I have even had an accident in this car and it lives to this day. A guy went up my backside at 30mph and I feared the worst but the car faired much better than I thought. I was expecting the whole back-end to be screwed (due to the lack of weight and flimsy nature of the AX) but it wasn't too bad. The assesors valued it at £850, and I had a new back chasis plate, new exhaust, new boot floor, and new bumper fitted and its fine, SUPERB. I would recommend this car to anyone, get one sooner rather than later because there aren't many good ones left and they're becoming worth something again (I have been offered a grand for mine). Hot hatches aren't made like this anymore.
