Good Points: Fast, good looking, glued to the road, rare!

Bad Points: Thirsty, insurance, electrics can go wrong.

General comments: I've just got rid of my 1.4i reflex Citroen ZX this car made me want to get another zx but with more oomph, these cars are amazing at handling and got good looks with the right model! I traveled to London from Sheffield to pick up my 2.0 16v, its silver and in mint condition, L reg 1994, 66k on clock, yeah it € s only got 150bhp but it € s the one I wanted because I hate the bonnet, grill and steering wheel on the later model! Most cars do lose if raced! I € ve just ordered my induction kit. I need new air hoses and breathers, what a jumble! Super rare, waited ages to find one! If you can get one do absolute bargain and great car!

I have a 96 P Citroen ZX 2.0 16V in red and it is mint. With only 55K on the clock but it only has that rubbish 150bhp engine in it. So I would love to know if the 167bhp lump wold go in without too much trouble? I also own a GTi6 but they are soooo common and I am fed up with it. The ZX is ever so cool and I love the fact noone knows what she is.

The early 155Bhp model Citroen ZX 2.016V was actually 150Bhp, this made it more of a tepid hatch than hot. The later engine 167Bhp is the prefered engine, it can be found in the 306 GTI-6 and the Xsara VTS, these cars are super rare though, and most owners won't want to part with them. The 150Bhp engine has a strange, yet fascinating, intake system which makes a lovely induction noise but it can go wrong. I has small vacuum actuators that break easily and a small electro-valve which controls the ...

I've had several ZX's now, but the Citroen ZX 2.016V is the one I've always wanted. Due to the previous owners lack of servicing though, I've just had to spend a silly amount of money on repairing the cylinder head. It was badly corroded through lack of proper anti-corrosive coolant. Still the car is now up and running, oh and does it run. Very quick car, I traded a moderately tuned Saxo VTR for this car, and I'm not disappointed. At least I don't have to watch over my shoulder for any other wou ...

The Citroen ZX 2.016V is a superb car and a brilliant buy if you can find one. I bought my P'reg 167bhp version with 38k on the clock this year for 2k. Try buying a P reg Golf GTI, 306 GTI6 (almost identical car) or equivalent for that!

Its fast and powerful. 0-20mph isnt brilliant but as the revs climb it shifts. On motorways its great for dropping down and overtaking as the power is very useable at higher speeds. You will always surprise more 'recognised' sports cars with its turn of speed ...

I have owned several fast cars, 205gti, r5gt, uno turbo and 16v astra but this Citroen ZX 2.016V is abit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. Extremely rapid accelaration, absolutely is glued to the road and stops on a dime. I have seen off several of the above without any trouble and can't fault it performance wise. 0-60 in 6.5 secs and 145 top speed. 160bhp standard however mine has been increased to 203. Abit thirsty but what can u expect. Some problems with the electric windows failing but apart fr ...
