1988 Renault 5 GTS review from Australia and New Zealand
"One with low km's or miles is a good buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Terrible starting problems.
Electrical problems.
The clutch sometimes sticks to the floor.
Expensive to repair.
Tires cost NZ$130.00 each.
Front door hinges keep coming loose.
General comments?
Surprisingly nippy.
Nice sleek body shape.
It doesn't appear to rust.
The paint work is somehow scratch resistant.
