‘Fabulous ride and a sci-fi- esque interior’

The European Car of the Year jury has been known to make some pretty questionable choices in the 33 years it’s being naming its definitive cars, but for 1975 it got it spot-on with the CX – and that’s saying something, because it knocked the Volkswagen Golf MkI into second place. It was a case of revolution beating evolution – the CX is a technological tour de

force. Individual looks, assured handling, a fabulous ride and a scifi-esque interior are just a few of the highlights, but the best thing about these cars has to be the price – you get a lot of car for your money – less than ten grand.
