Citroen BX 1.6, 1991 r.

► Summary
The BX is a typical Citroen: avant-garde, convenient, but also not very durable. Angular shapes, hydropneumatic suspension, plastic body parts – in years 80. it was impressive. The bodywork is quite spacious, but there is not enough room overhead in the back. Recommended copies after '86. Driving comfort Complicated design Expensive, difficult service
