1994 Renault 19 RT review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas leaked out of the airconditioning - regasing cost $180.00AU!
Front foglamps seem to mysteriously eat globes - 2 sets in 12 months.
General comments?
Very comfortable car, offering very good performance (I went from a Holden Barina (Opel/Vauxhaul Corsa) to this car) I bought it for $AU14,000 - very cheap for a car with power windows, air con, sunroof, remote locking, etc - it had only done 30,000 km in 3 years since new. However, with Renault no longer represented in Australia, the dealer has said "no more" to servicing, it could become problematical. However, Renaults are rare on Aussie roads, so even though it's a 4 year old car, it still turns heads.
