Citroen AX GT

incredible nice looking and fast Car.

Much more tought than it looks.

It's like duracel... goes and goes...etc.

Very fast, corners well, light and resistant.

surprises when driven hard.

Best value for money.

Light responsive/nippy ,comftable very very fun to muck about in , spongy brakes ,good econ great at 1st cars but easy car to get carried away in as a young driver. Keep an eye on rust .... the police don't leave you alone they all tell you to scrap it an it ain't worth the money to fix it and stuff, they just treat you like a boy racer but to be honest driving them you cant help but blitz it through the little backroads and marshlanes.

It handles like a go-kart and sticks to the road like a fly. Engine parts and a few other bits are easy to get hold of as the 106 xs is the same car underneath and the cars weight is like a feather. Cheap tax, cheap insurance - what more could you want from a hot hatch?

Get one now whilst they are cheap and look after it for a investment.

The Citroen AX GT is a great cheap car to whizz about in, but would recommend a break upgrade as they just don't feel safe at anything over 30 mph, the car is great on fuel as I've found out. This car will beat most cars up to 1.8 litre as it has excellent acceleration and great handling in the twisties, so all round it's a great little car for just getting you from a to b, or thrashing it down your local back roads.

I have a Citroen AX GT 500 and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice regarding engines. I'm looking into putting a 1587cc TU series Saxo VTR block ino the car. I have seen other GT's with this conversion but running on carbs (twin webber 40's i believe?) so do you swap the MPi head from the VTR with the existing GT head from my 1360cc engine? Will they fit? If you can run that set up, do the webbers require a specialist manifold/custom made? one last thing, does anyone know if a standard GT gearbox will mate directly to a VTR block and can I still use my GT drive shafts and therefore hubs? Cheers for any genuine help about this :) Tom

Brill fun. My Citroen AX GT had a genuine 40 thousand on the clock and at a time was mint until my mate ran it up another car! Was the fastest standard about with just backbox and K and N filter was beatin 306 XSi 2.5 Vectras and chasing 306 GTi6 and Rallys very closely. Another was I was side by side with a 206 GTi not the 180 all the way up to 105 then it creept away. So in all this is quick and feels faster because it's a wee mover. Every lad must have 1 it's greatly satisfying.

I've been driving just over 2 years now and I've owned an Escort and 2 Citroen AX GT's and now on my third. I can't stop driving them, no matter what car I'm in or driving I cant wait till I get back in one. At the moment I've got a fully kitted and modified red AX GT, it looks the dogs. I get so much attention from the car that it's starting to annoy me. if I were asked what car to buy it would most definitely be my first recommendation, just keep an eye on it and get it serviced and you won't have a problem.

This Citroen AX GT was an excelent buy for 250 pound and to fully recondition the engine due to a blown head gasket was time consuming but not difficult at a cost of £103, but as a result I have a good runner for £353 and would recommend this car to anyone willing to put a bit of work into it.

I have owned 2 Citroen ax gts now. I have a gt500 now and they are miles better than the standard ax gt. I have had the head gasket go but what do you expect it's 13 years old. Also I have had to replace the driveshafts and cv joints but is worth it to see the look on the 205 gti boys and most other boy racers to that matter. The only things that do my ax are the big boys in there 200bhp turbos. In my opinion they are the most fun to drive and are cheap to get parts for and run. The only problem I had was getting 3 stud alloys but the lads at compomotive helped me out.

Ive owned 2 Citroen AX GT and they are little beautys. I may have to go for a third! Even though occasionally they can be known to break down when they do go they GO! Acceleration from 0-60 is unreal for such a small and it never seems to stop accelerating! Watch out for the handling though. Great little car, go out and give it a good hammering, trust me you will love it!
