1979 Reliant Robin Super review from UK and Ireland
"An individual symbol of English-ness"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
General wear and tear, the car seems to eat rear bulbs and constantly blow fuses.
The car leaks very badly even in only minor rain. Most of the water comes in through the rear window.
The rubber seal around the base of the windscreen wiper arm perished causing water to leak through the body and drip directly onto the radio causing it to short.
General comments?
A great individual little car.
Amazingly quick acceleration, scary handling especially in cross-winds!
Attracts so much attention from other road users and pedestrians, they all wave and point.
Inside the seats are terrible for both wear and comfort. The car surprisingly has loads of front legroom and the controls are well laid out.
