1994 Renault 19 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, exclusive, reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown exhaust back box (twice).
Front wheel bearings (enthusiastic cornering? Surely not!).
Front suspension arms.
Generally only wear and tear items associated with spirited driving.
General comments?
Best non-Recaro sports seats I know of, and the offset position is not really a problem.
Pretty quick, but needs some revving to get the most out of it.
At the end, I was doing 3000 miles a week and returning over 40mpg.
Motorway cruising was just too noisy in the end.
You can go for days at a time and not see another one.
