1985 Renault Fuego GTX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A modern classic with a real feel-good factor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only minor electrical faults.
Connection problems with RH tail light.
Connection problem with the rear wiper.
Trip computer required specialist work although not expensive.
Any faults seem to be minor and common to all Fuegos.
General comments?
This has been my second Fuego (the first one was used as a main car and driven to 100,000 miles). I know of Fuegos approaching 200,000 miles and still going strong.
Both have been totally reliable, comfortable, and thoroughly enjoyable to own.
The design inside and out has aged very well. You would never guess it dates back 20 years.
