Back in the early 2000s, I had a ZX 16v, rare then, almost impossible to find now - hugely under rated. 167hp, passive rear wheel steering and a sharp chassis, what's not to like!

Such good cars, they had passive rear while steering too so they went around corners brilliantly. I miss mine.

I have 3 of these cars. 1996 16v (M), 1995 2.0i(M) and a 1997 1.8i(A). Just love them. Bought them for runabouts for my sons but they regularly do 500km highway bouts in a single trip. Just service and keep a watch on the hoses (> 25 years old). Am looking to get another one soon (167bhp 16v). Superb ride quality even at this age.

nice one- I bought one in Germany in 2001 (93 model). Great car- gave it to my father-in law in Belarus in 2005 and still going now. Strong engine.

Had one for 5 years, highly underrared car.

I had a red ZX Volcane. Bought it at auction after falling in love at first sight. Brilliant car.

Underrated car, underrated review.

Fantastic Cars I had a 1.4 Petrol for 8 wonderful trouble free years .

my dad owned the 3door zx 16v version. I liked that much I bought it off him after he owned it for 6years. quite rare back then only noticed 2 others on the road at the time.

Love a good ZX

The 1.9D is unbreakable. We had the same on a Peugeot 405. More than 650k kms before accident….easy maintenance and reliable. Good choice !

I like your style and car criteria Geoff. Always thought the ZX were lovely looking cars, and so simple too!

Had the 1.4 petrol. Loved it and hated it. But one of the sweetest cars you build memories with

I have a 2 year old Berlingo with almost all those features, most of which I've never needed or used. It's the Swiss army knife of cars and we love it. But, we used to have a 1996 Citroen Synergie ( 7 seater MPV ) with the 1.9td engine that we loved much more. It cost 500 quid, we had countless adventures 8n it. It would get us, 3 kids, the dog, our camping gear ( with a huge roof box ) the 170 miles to the seaside on 12 quids worth of vegetable oil. We covered about 30k miles in it. I reckon everyone has fonder memories of their automotive underdogs.

I had a silver 5 door 1.9TD SX for 8 years and 86k..loved it.. did 50mpg day in day out.. super car..

ZX 1.8 Petrol aura white color was my first car. i bought it in 1995 in the Sultanate of Oman (i was expatriated) the car is stil in my garage and totalize 286 000 kms (i use it as a second car) . i broke many recent cars , but i never broke my ZX it run perfectly , seats covers are still ok , plastic are still ok . it is a small car with a big engine, fun to drive ...u fucking good car , i love it !

I'm buying a k reg 93 1.9 aura zx today has eletric windows ,sunroof and pas and abs and central locking 1 owner with 1 years m.o.t can't wait to get.

How many cars were not built by him running it for 20 years? Far better to keep these spinning, for the price of a couple of month’s PCP payment you’ve got reliable transport and fantastic fuel economy! And yes I’ve just bought a ticket! Cheers, Simon M

Only this evening I watched a neighbours grandson try to park his grandads car.....it had no power steering , reversing camera or parking sensors. Poor lad was totally out of his depth and at a loss as to how this was going to pan out. We need less techno and a more back to basics approach to driving in order to save the planet and give driving skills back to the nation. If someone needs hill assist in order to drive their car they really shouldn't have a licence if they have no clutch control. Keeping it simple really is the key to pleasurable and skillful motoring 👍

Very nice Clip of a very cool car. Thanks so much (y)

I own a Citroen ZX 1.4 from 1991, the first month of production of this model. The car is in factory condition, 33 years old. The material used for production is of enviably good quality. The car has a retrofitted LPG system and low fuel consumption. 6.7 L LPG per 100 km... Today, a car like this is rarely seen on the roads of this part of Europe. Greetings to everyone from Belgrade, Serbia

I bought a 500e 4 months ago with this engine and since then I no longer use my "pretty" 308! Very endearing car Reliable comfortable and consuming almost nothing Salutations de France!

This is the best and most reliably car I have ever owned

1.9TD was a great engine, very good on fuel! Found one for sale on ebay right now! Tempting

Fantastic car. I’ve got a 1997 1.4i SX (ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND SUNROOF!!!!) with 81k miles. Just been put through an MOT, six of the fail items were rear brakes. It’s pretty decent nipping about the local area but motorway driving is a bit of a drag, although that might be down to the throttle cable needing replaced. The engine is noisy and has a worrying additional noise under load though!

Couldn't agree more!

The inventor of the keypad immobiliser can't have seen many '80's horror films.

i completely agree what you said i love that car so much i bought mine in 2011 for 250€ it was 272 000k I still got it it have now 520 000k ans still in good conditions

I have a 2000 Citroën Xantia Estate petrol, which I’ve now had for 5 years. It was a one owner and was taken good care of. It’s my third Xantia and I seem to be strangely addicted to them, so I take good care of this one despite it’s used year round. And people I know get increasingly puzzled when I meet them after not seeing them for a while (“you STILL got that thing?”) 😃

nice buy love it

This never break down

I had the 1.9 Turbo Diesel was very nippy for a diesel but sadly had to scrap it in the end as rust eat away the sills it was made in 1995 and died in 2015 so had a good run , 125mph top speed too

Just had to spend £500 on my Xsara Picasso for the MOT. Had it not had ABS, The bill would have been about £120. To bee 100% fair, Other than the cambelt, it has only needed servicing and tyres in the 8 years I have owned it. Bought it from a gentleman who had it on mobility and then he bought it after the 3 years was up. 20k and 7 1/2 years old for £3k Cheap and very reliable motoring. Just the window regulator to do once the better weather comes (Part was £20)

I had to scrap my 2006 1.5 clio dci that had only 80k. It was still drive like new as i did most of the milage on motorways and looked after it my self. Full tank diesel can last me over 800 miles. I couldn't keep it because it started to be expensive paying £ 12.50 a day when the ulra low emission zone was enforced where i live in London.

really surprised rear passenger door sxsara estate look actually not far off from complete xsara

I have the same car, even the same color, but with the steering wheel on the other side.

Just goes to show how much useless crud is built into a modern car. I’d love a simple car like this - less silly gizmos, then max out on quality materials and build quality……..but it’ll never happen!

Hello, where do i buy this wheel caps? I bought a ZX but it doesn't have the wheel caps anymore. I can't find here in Brasil.

There used to be loads of these cars around when I was a kid, but now they're impossible to find!

Yuss. 🤩💪🏼 I’m about to throw £1500+ worth of work at my Xantia diesel because it’s kind of a challenge to get it 250k now I feel. 😂 Like you say, it’ll keep going, no need for a new ant on wheels with all the unnecessary electrical madness that will inevitably be what causes the most headaches. I’ve had a ZX. My dad is proper XUD/W124 obsessive kind of man, he’s had BXs, ZXs and XMs….. I want an XM but he moans about working on them. 🙄 Anywaaaaay. Nice to see a little bit of ZX. 🤗

Do all of them have a emobiliser? I don’t want to deal with that if I get one

Hey, little tip for you: the imobiliser can be deactivated if you want to do so for some reason, it says in the owners manual how you can do so.

Hey is all the 1.9 diesel version? Or there's petrol version!

Convenient stash place in the steering wheel on the pov spec models...how we laughed.

Subbed. I would be all over that car. Expect nothing and you can't be disappointed ....

Oh and this is also known as the Citroën Fukang in China.

I've noticed a lot of Nissan Almera's on the roads recently are they making a retro comeback?

I love my Volcane

Imagine having to put a code in any time you wanted to go anywhere. What a headache. Back in the 90s my Dad wanted to buy a Peugeot 306vand it waz the same but I convinced them to buy a Meganecas it had no silly keypad for the immobiliser. It was in the key. Much better and it was a much more modern far too far nicer than a 306.

What spec is the zx being tested

Does my volcane have a driver's airbag NO!

To be honest. Every car needs airbags, ABS and ESP. Besides that no funky tech.

Did he say good looking ? It’s fooking ugly as sin ha
