    Bad Points: There persists a popular myth that they are difficult because they are foreign and have hydropneumatic suspension. Agencies are dreadful and overcharge and take public for a ride on the basis of the myths. Parts from agencies are expensive. Worst design problems: inadequately wet sealed rear radius arm bearings which need replacing after 120,000 miles as a result, rear door securing - tends to rattle without frequent adustment,


    General comments: Extremely good ride, low road noise, comfortable seats, durable (my BX 19TGD Estate is 18 years old and just run in!), cheap to maintain, very economical - over 50 mpg over entire life, flexible forgiving engine with loads of low rev. torque, great visiblility, wide doors giving really easy access, large interior space and huge boot for size of car, a pleasure to drive and handles very well- never managed to break out the back end even when trying on slippery surfaces, any loss of traction proceeds in predictable safe manner, accurate agile steering, parts are reasonable through OEM importers. Rugged suspension arms and use of taper roller bearings and no horrid rubber bushes - even on antiroll bars.


    I can't find such a good car in the modern offerings from all manufaturers to replace my Citroen BX. I would sooner trust a long journey to my 18 year old BX than a new prestige car stuffed full of electronic deviceswhich mainly seem to just overcome design shortcomings.

    The Citroen BX 19 TGD is not a bad car,but seriously find a mechanic who honestly knows what he's doing before you get it. I don't know how you will know he knows though. so good luck if you buy it.

    The Citroen BX 19 is a much misunderstood car, ride over rough roads is unbeatable, robust engines, 38 - 50mpg this is my 3rd one and will have to be replaced with a xantia. For all the negatives people say about citroens - I say find a good machanic and buy a decent one.

    I have a '92 Citroen BX 19 TGD Estate. Does around 13.5 seconds 0-60mph, 105mph. Good non-turbo performance, excellent load lugger and still one of the most comfortable rides around.
