Advantages: none

Disadvantages: ugly

I was given a BX 1.6RE '88 from my grans boyfriend and i was stupid enough to take it. It felt as if you were driving a boat and if you become sea sick on a ship i'd like to warn you DO NOT drive the BX it will be hazardous to your health.

On the good side though it had some features the some modern cars don't such as central locking, and front electric windows, which was very suprising for a car of its age.

my younger brother,13 was in the car more than me as he broke into it (without doing any damage to it and he isnt a car thief)and considered it as a big massive toy but the battery was removed as he kept on starting the engine which brings me on to another point i have never heard so many clicks, rattles, and other wierd noises in my life and this was when the engine was running.

the front brakes were hydraulic and therefore if the engine broke down whilst you were moving you had a serious problem because you have to use the hand brake which would create even more problems if not used carefully as the wheels could lock and that could be very dangerous

I sold it on the 13th march 2002 for £40.
