1987 Renault 11 GTX review from UK and Ireland
"With decent build quality it could have been very nice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburettor faults at each service or MOT test.
The clutch pedal broke (!) at about 5000 miles.
Replacement clutch pedal also broke within a couple of months.
Clutch used to stick and never operated smoothly.
New carburettor at about 30,000 miles.
Engine mount broke at 70,000 miles.
Electric fan broke at 70,000 miles.
It often failed to start for no good reason in the bad weather (especially snow).
Back seats, dash, electric, all fell apart quite regularly. Build quality is not very good.
General comments?
Handling was a little wayward.
Ride quality was a little harsh.
The seats (especailly the front seats) were really nice.
The steering was very precise and quite light.
The reliability was not all it should have been.
The build quality was poor.
