1985 Renault Fuego Turbo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Really fast and awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plugs adjusted to the wrong gap IE too wide so that the car misfired under boost.
Gearbox failed so we had to replace it.
General comments?
This car is awesome everybody should have one.
It is seriously underrated.
They should start making them again.
