Citroen AX GT 1.4

I had to write another review of the AX GT because i love these cars so much. Just came across my original review of the car from 2004, well since then i have owned 2 more of these and currently have a black mk1 with 100k on the clock as my run about. Awesome. 162 quid to insure and 120 a year to tax. Spot on. Never fails to put a smile on my face everyday- all standard, 1 previous owner, no rust. Gets a lot of interest from younger boy racers and fellow hot hatch connoisseurs! The reasons the AX GT has such a cult following now is that it is cheap to run, cheap to fix, cheap to buy, looks good and is actually fast as hell. It also has 0 build quality and so the rattles, squeaks, cabin noise and lack of insulation make you feel like you're really in a sports car, but you're really comfortable! It has taken me to gigs with an entire back-line in it (drums, instruments and amps) and has had emergency use as a family car- 2 under 3's and my wife and I. What a car! 5/5. Brilliant.

The Citroen AX GT 1.4 is pretty sporty, quite a bit of torque, good for steep hills and buses on the motorway

Overall the Power down to the ground and the handling capability, my mum had a Citroen AX GT 1.4 and it was the greatest car shes ever had...she even misses it now 10 years later!!

I've had my rally prep'd Ax bout 9 mths. The only time let down wen n/s engine mount bolt sheared droppin engine 2 sumpgaurd & raggin driveshaft to oblivion. Was gutted coz at the time doin gud job of harrassin V6 cougar. He had me on straight but no match wen in lanes in derbyshire. Really annoyed driver off not bein able 2 leave a li'l citroen. But after tow home & 20 mins twirlin spanners woz bak up n running & out on prowl ready 2 surprise loads of(supposedly more pwerful) cars. It's great 2 see the look on their faces wen a li'l ol' Ax blows them into the weeds.

I have had 2 Citroen AX gts they are wicked cars my current one is at 90 bhp and will see series 1/2 rsts, 106 gtis, Saxo vts, 106 rallys off any day cus off the power to weight ratio. If you want one then i say you wont look back.

I have owned 7 of these little rocket powered roller skates and I still love them, I have owned many fast cars including sunny GTI, Nova GTI, a maxed senator pushing 265 bhp and many more but on todays roads these ax gt's are great. I just brought an e plate with 49 on the clock and its fantastic, I like these cars as they're easy to work on and bits are cheap. Their only down fall is the creaky interior, but if you can put up with this you will not find a more fun car for the money, buy one before it's too late!

The Citroen AX GT 1.4 in my opinion is only beaten by seriously quick machines or bikes, that is with a proper driver behind the wheel! Watch out for a worn bearing at the end of the rear axle. Many people tell me the only sane cure is to replace the whole axle! Can anyone help here as I'm off the road until it's fixed? My car goes like a turbo car with a surprising push back in the seat.

I brought my Citroen ax GT MRK1 F Reg(1989) in 2005

It had 67 on the clock, now it has 88.

Front bad boy bonnet with ego vent. Blue metallic, flushed tail.

Jan speed through out. lowered 40mm at front 60mm back.

With 15'' alloys it does rub at the back when some one sits in back. Alpine head unit 6 by 9s at rear also two 12 inch subs which gives god sound as well as traction at rear hehe.

I love it, has never let me down from the lights. Very good on fuel very easy to look after yourself. Briliant for first car! I have still got it today december 2007 and still love it. When ever i stop at the lights i get weird looks cause a lot of people don't know what it is but when the lights turn green they wont forget me.

I will really miss this car when it goes.

For the price you pay, you can't have as much fun in any other car. Truly fantastic go-kart like little motor with boasting massive potential, light weight and an element of surprise!

I think that they should stop making round bubbly cars because theres no style in them no more and theres no shape!

I think that the AX GT its a wicked car and that you should get one, if you want style, looks, performance and glamour then get this car. I've kitted my car up body kit 17inch wheels, low suspension and bright yellow. It has cost me over £3500 just to do all these things and it has taken me a year and a half to get it looking this way!
