1988 Renault 5 GTL 3door review from Spain
"Not bad for a car of it's age.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original engine of the car blew burnt because water leakage. Replaced with one with 90000 km. Clutch disk blew and replaced. A little rust around front windshield.
General comments?
Not a bad car for it's age. Performance is a bit low for me considering it's 60HP. It accelerates fairly quick up to 150 km/h, but it's very hard to get the car past this speed. 155/70 R13 tires are too thin for my taste. About 7 liters/100 km if you aren't a boy racer, but if you get it to the floor expect over 10 liters/100. Noisy at high speeds, but comfortable. Interior quality is OK.
