I visit Peak 2CV and manage to get my hands on his rather lovely ZX Volcane Automatic, which may or may not be for sale. peak2cv.co.uk
This ZX is unusual in being a hot hatch with automatic transmission and leather seats. Poshness! It would have had air conditioning at some point, but now doesn't.
HubNut store and support options located at hubnut.org - I thank you.

Awesome! I'm blown away you actually made this video. The ZX is one the best handling cars even to today's standards. When I'm driving it, it becomes an extension of my body. Excellent predictability, tons of feedback. Handles like a dream. My other 2 Door 16V version has a lot more power and the 2 Door does give it a very different feel inside. A pure driver's car. Doors are solid and heavy, making it an unusual pleasure everytime I slam them close. Whenever I climb back into a ZX after driving a BMW E46 325i, I get the same spark at the back of my mind - how did Citroen make this handles even better than the E46 without 50/50 weight distribution, rear wheel drive, engine behind the front wheels etc. This cheap little beautiful car will live on, a Citroen legacy they could not replicate so far.

@Sionnach1601 Год назад

So very very well put friend. I too had a Volcane, the 1.9TD manual, and man could that thing go! Buckets of torque, always pulling away no bother, yet was racey in 2nd gear like a petrol GTi class. It'd easily wheel spin in 2nd gear! What a blast it was. Then there was the beautifully cosseted ride, the confident feeling of being so well-planted around every bend. I could even drift it nicely with enough momentum into a bend and it would hold and balance so nicely. This made it a very safe car too, as you ARE going to be going fast in it. The ride was fantastic: not quite the supreme magic carpet of the Xantia, but still incredibly smooth, wayyyyy beyond most other cars on the road. This was a very, nay, an extremely rare combination of smoothness and extremely sure footing which set it out on its own. The reviewer here I felt was unnecessarily negative in his bias against this car, as it was far ahead of most other French cars ever made up to that point in terms of durability and reliability. Mechanically it was sound as a pound and I never had a day where it was off the road except for maintenance. The styling was so beautiful, and angular that when I got out of the car, I would have to keep walking backwards to continue looking at it. Those 4 spoke alloys were INCREDIBLY pleasing to the eye, and with my maroon beauty polished up to the 9s, the gorgeous reflective grey of the alloys would contrast so nicely with the darker colour of the body. It was only 1 of 3 cars ever which used to make me swoon as I'd look at it. The interior: awwh....the interior....I still have dreams about it. Such high quality faux leather and plastic, which because it was so solid and beautifully crafted, felt more like granite bedrock to me, and so pleasing to the eye. The minute you sat in the driver's seat, you felt you were in something VERY special: something even more German than the Germans, hearkening back to the Francish ancestry. 20 years on and I still have dreams about driving and owning this car. Should have just kept it and stuck a 2.0HDi into it and chipped it up a bit, maybe 130, would have made it even nicer, probably mind-blowing with its power to weight. Extremely fond, grateful, dazzling memories of it. Really really admired the French engineering potential after this. Vive là France! Vive la groupe PSA! 🇨🇵

@devilax03 4 года назад

Great video. I loved my 2.0i Volcane. You missed the purpose of the panel on the boot floor and parcel shelf extensions. The whole rear bench slides forwards to increase boot space. There's a lever under the bench in the middle. Great feature!

@gosportjamie 4 года назад

Citroen clearly did listen to criticisms of their vehicles. I had a face-lift ZX, a fairly late one which was, inevitably, a special edition based on a fairly poverty model with the 1.4 petrol engine, so also poverty spec, and that had a clutch foot rest. The ZX is an incredibly underrated car, a lot of fun to drive thanks to the rather clever suspension system and also very comfortable, even in poverty form. Even the non-turbo diesel automatic is fun to drive, and the turbo-diesel, manual only in the UK, is positively brisk, though most of them have done star ship miles now...

I am extremely fond of the Citroen ZX. Having had a very rare ZX 16v, I found it a hugely under rated car. Well made, great chassis, good driving position. I actually think it was probably the best in its class having driven the rest of its contemporaries.

@ejpurkis 4 года назад

I bought a new 1.4 base model in 1988. It was a lovely car that I enjoyed throwing around lanes in Lincolnshire. The passive rear steer consisted of two rectangular rubber blocks that the trailing arms of rear suspension located into. They were very effective in tightening your line as sideways forces built. I almost traded it for Fiero version which was a warm hatch 16i version. I found that car had been hooned in too many times and had a very noisy cam.It made me appreciate mine more. I enjoyed the sun blind which pulled from the rear shelf. Great for keeping sun off our kids. One problem I had was the nylon feeling seat trim. The children’s sandals had buckles which pulled threads on the rear seat. Citroen marketed the car as being built from thicker steel. Certainly the bonnet was heavy. Like the AX, the ZX had a plastic (ABS) tailgate. My previous car had been a mk2 Golf which turned out to be slower, and less reliable. Thanks for the memory!

Just had a week away in Christchurch where we used to live. Great area for old cars - ageing population, drive low miles and benign climate. Stayed at Meadowbank on Stour Way and as usual I nodded in acknowledgement of the lovely NRG ZX on a K plate that I see year after year on River Way. Last Weds I drove to the Fairmile Co-op and pulling out of the Grove in front of me was a white ZX on a K plate. Got back to the caravan site with my goodies and pulling out of the site was a red K plate ZX Volcane !! I was soooo excited and pleased......sadly my good lady wife doesn't get the obsession lol. Next day went to Salisbury and going through a New Forest village there was a silver ZX on an M parked by the side of the road !! What a holiday !!! Driving home we passed a Metro 1.1C and later a lovely beige Metro 1.3 City X on the A34. That holiday has been the antidote to almost 6 months of bloody awful lockdown !! I love old cars.

Yes! HOT 90s PSA action! Any ZX is a great design, but a Volcane, especially in black, is absolutely bloody gorgeous. A low-mileage manual 2.0i Volcane popped up for sale around the same time I had my eye on a Xantia HDi, at a very reasonable price too - I ended up buying the Xantia. Still questioning whether that was the right choice...

@jonathanholmes6616 4 года назад

@trevorlack1726 4 года назад

I drove a zx TDI on a 600 mile round trip and absolutely loved 580 of the miles due to getting used to what was left of Citroen quirkiness by this time. It rivalled comfort by any of the big German Brand's, which is a given. The engine was torquey enough and was better than anything that I'd driven from Britain's traditional Ford, Vauxhall fair. This is why those brands failed so miserably in the 90s when there was stuff like this and the 306. I bought a Xantia much, much later just because of my experience in that zx.

@DalekBuilder 4 года назад

I always preferred the ZX to the 306. Always fancied a ZX but another that I never got around to. Most that were for sale when I was looking were the diesels. Nothing wrong with the XUD engine but the 1.9 petrol is the engine I prefer. A volcane automatic is something I haven't seen before. Nice video.

I kept this one for about 10 years and eventually sold it to a bloke who came over from France for it!

It remains the sweetest handling and most hassle free car I've had, eclipsing even the Japanese cars that have come and gone. Having also experienced a Peugeot 306 of similar vintage and condition in the day, I felt the ZX was just that bit more solid surprisingly enough. Selling that ZX was one of my few automotive regrets deep down....

While the Escort and Astra boys were slogging it out in the early 90's with their British hot hatches, a very interesting but rarely mentioned rivalry was going on with the ZX Volcane and the Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole. Both slightly left of field, but both offering something a bit different. The Tipo never got leather or a slush box option whilst the Citroën didn't have a twin-cam, so a few variations but they both shared 5 doors and a bit of European flair. I'd love to see a head to head between those 2 less known but highly entertaining cars.

I had a company car 2 litre ZX Volcane way back in 1993. It was a brilliant car apart from one major fault. My windscreen had some sort of coating problem that meant it smeared when wet. The local dealers had to get a Citroen man over who approved the fitting of a new windscreen. All fine after that. Great motors!
