1987 Renault 11 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Complete french originality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car ran reasonably well for the first 11 months, then the fan hit the proverbial. The waterpump failed, leading to the motor being totally cooked.
General comments?
The R11 was a smooth riding car and a willing performer. It always started, the transmission was a little clunky when cold, but when it was warm it worked perfectly.
The R11 was an unusual car. I saw only one other R11 in my travels.
After the engine meltdown, I sold it for two dozen beers.
