AX.. great AXE

Advantages: Great looks and sound
Disadvantages: Hard to find cases

...~Intro~ I bought my ESP AX 260 last year. I had been playing guitar for about Three years and was looking for a better quality guitar than my previous, a Crafter Strat. I had looked online and had a reasonable idea of what I wanted, and so I went down to my local guitar shop. When I got there they had a range of ESP guitars, but not the one I originally wanted. I had originally wanted an ESP F Series guitar. The guitar that they did have, and that caught my eye, was a shiny, black, ESP AX260! I tried the guitar in shop (as I recommend you do when you buy a guitar,) encase it looked great but sounded awful. It didn't. In-fact it played like a dream and sounded wonderful. BUT, that day I left the shop empty handed. I had not brought enough money with me. When I returned with enough money the guitar was sold!! I had to get the guitar...

Citroen AX GT

Advantages: Cheap tax and cheap to run
Disadvantages: Flimsy bodywork and panels

...Just over a year ago I decided to buy my boyfriend a car. I managed to get my hands on a black J-reg Citroen AX GT with around 78000 miles. It was a bargain at only £200. I thought the car was great to start with, however my boyfriend was almost in tears the first time he saw the car. He thought it was awful and a total waste of money. The car stood for three months collecting bird droppings on the road, until one day my man decided that he did indeed like the car. My boyfriend is now besotted with ?Esmeralda?, and has started the work in modifying her. Getting her through the MOT was expensive, and new tyres cost more than the actual car. The Citroen AX GT is a very good car, if you manage to get a hold of a good example. The max speed of ours is a very respectable 100+ mph, and we are sure that there is more power under...

Citroen AX - One of the real hot hatches

Advantages: Ecomomy , superb performance , handling , lightweight , small , very cheap
Disadvantages: niggles mainly but if i have to , slight rust in small places and its electrics

...First of all i would like to say that these are one of the best cars out there , both for economy and performance depending upon the model purchased. I own two ax's , one is a 1.1 salsa model and the other is a 1.4 gt (carb), both models are on a g plate (1990) , the economy and drive of the one litre is fantastic , low tax , low insurance , excellent return on fuel , with the only two downsides being , long journeys are a bit of a longshot , due to its small engine capacity will struggle with the distance and constant high speeds will generate quite a bit of heat. The GT model is honestly one of the better hot hatchbacks available , it offers once again excellent fuel economy and the twin choke carb 1400 cc engine offers superb performance for its capacity due to its lightweight chassis. Another benefit of this car is the cost...

Nippy AX

Advantages: Cheap on tax, insurance and fuel.
Disadvantages: Flimsy bodywork

...Hi, I bought a Citroen AX Echo 1.1 a few years ago just before car prices went down and it cost me a whopping £4000 for an M reg which at the time was about 4 years old. The fuel economy on this little machine was phenomenal, I was getting around 60 - 70 mpg even on the motorway. As you can tell just by looking at one of these they have a very individual identity. I desperatly wanted to modify my car and bought this because it is a 'hot hatch' and thought it would be easy however there is only a hand full of people who do modifications for the AX, and I bought the 5 door rather than the 3 door. These cars are very fun to drive the handling on them is up to scratch and the performance is'nt to bad even for a 1.1. In the 3 years that I owned my AX I never had any mechanical problems the only things that I changed were things like the tyres...

Yamaha AX 500

Advantages: quality low noise reliabilty power appearance amazing clarity high end performance
Disadvantages: none for a classic amp

...Its an amp that changes the face of your listening entirely if you have been using lesser equipment..no matter what it cost. The AX 500 makes a high fidelity sound way above its considerable cost when released by yamaha..and puts all of its contemporaries in the shade. Its an imposing box, though like all of the natural sound range pulls that off with elegance. The sleek lines are very dark hi-fi and blends in nicely anywhere.Its hansome, heavyweight and shakes the foundations. How yamaha achieve such cleaness of sound,musicality and such fabulous signal to noise ratio is said to be down to the sheer precision of thier manufacturing. Their products are incredibly long lived delivering all of the original performance. They achieve this with hi-fi, much of which is now getting on over 60 years old and has cult collectable status...

Panasonic PT AX 100 E

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

...Updated review. I have been using the Panasonic PT AX 100E as my main TV, in conjunction with a freeview box and a DVD player, for just over a year now. I paid £900 for it then, but the price has dropped and even the improved PT AX200 can now be bought for about £700. The reason for the low rating is because of it's unreliability and Panasonic's inability to fix it when it went wrong, as described below. In all other respects it is a very good projector. The picture quality is extremely good in a dark room and quite watchable during the day even with the curtains open for all but the darkest movies. In bright conditions the colours can become a little washed-out although there are various viewing options on the remote control to compensate a little. For some very dark films however you should wait until the room can be blacked out...

Citroen AX

Advantages: cheap to insure, reliable
Disadvantages: very small, can seem unsturdy

...When you're looking for your first car, you are likely to want something that is cheap, cheap...and er...cheap!! You are more than likely going to want something smaller so it is cheap to insure, and something to get you from A to B. The Citroen AX,lets face it, is not a triumph of car design in the 20th Century. However, they are everywhere. This makes them cheap. I got mine for £300 from a private dealer, and have not had to spend to much more on it. They are reliable, and because they are mostly small engines, they are very cheap to insure. As a young driver, premiums are already high, but with this car, the small engine, low value and the fact that it is hardly going to get it stolen, means insurance premiums are lowered. The car itself is ok. I'm not going to build it into your ideal car. If you had money to spend, you...

AX 1.4 TZS - A pocket rocket

Advantages: Performance, Economy, Fun & Insurance and tax costs.
Disadvantages: Safety, and general styling are dated

...I recently purchased my first car. I took a long time choosing the make and model as my price range was limited (£800 max) and I knew people who had been given a rough deal in the past. Finally i stumbled accross a little gem in autotrader. An F reg AX 1.4 TZS, sporting electric windows, sunroof, central locking and a CD player. All for £800 on the nose. I was cautious at first as I am naturally suspicious of a suposidely good deal. However to my delight the car was imaculate. Since then i have driven nearly 1000 miles in the car. No problems at all. The 1.4 litre engine is phenominaly quick for such a small car. It beats literally anything with ease - one notable victory at the lights wasagainst a BMW 316 driven by a fellow young driver. The look of shock as I took off at the lights was hilarious. There are so many...

AXS excellent value

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: slow customer services

...AXS are the cheapest phone company I have found - 2p/min 1p/min anythime for UK calls - Ok, customer services is sometimes slow and their bills are pretty unitelligible (but correct) - but what a price! All you have to do is register and then dial 1615 before your number (it is very occasionally engaged)so you can choose when to use it... You can also get a card (&PIN) to use from any landline phone which is then charged to your home account - beats BTs 20p per call from a phone box!! - or any mobile!!...

Review of AXS Telecom

Nice one AXS.

Advantages: Cheap calls, easy to get.
Disadvantages: Have to enter a pin number, no off-peak rate.

...Like many other people I try to keep our household bills down so I try to keep track of new suppliers of services and price changes. Recently I have discovered a company called AXS. They offer good priced phone calls. The day time rates for land to land phones are 2p a minute for local or national calls compared with 2.4p a minute for local and 3.2p a minute for BT that is based on BTs Together rates and the Best Friend discount. It not a Best Friend and only Friends and Family it goes up to 2.7p and 3.6p. The added bonus with AXS is that there is no monthly charge or minimum call charge. You keep your BT line and obviously pay your line rental to them so if you use AXS all you pay for is your phone call. Their evening rates and weekend rates are also 2p a minute local or national so if you have BTs standard rates AXS is...
