My first Car was a ZX Berline 1.6i Aura with 88hp in White, got it for 250 Bucks, with 390'000ish km, i rocked that thing into the ground, uphill, downhill, on mountain roads, full throttle whenever i could, basically floored it over speedbumps and jumped it over stuff.
Sadly missed . I bought one of the last made a 19rd bought ‘97 traded in as part of the Scrappage in ‘09 with 232,000 miles and a 2month old mot. Apart from wear and tear items no unexpected faults. A great car
I had a metallic wine ZX Volcane, 1.9TD. Absolute MINTER of a car. The handling was unreal, the smoothness conversely was unreal, and its interior was just so gorgeous, so solid, tight and well-made; it felt very Germanic (I know they're French don't worry).
