1985 Renault Fuego GTS review from UK and Ireland
"A medium/slow performing car but with futuristic streamlined looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrics, lights, overheating etc.
General comments?
I bought the car for 150 quid and added a new exhaust etc to get an MOT. The car is very 'revvy' with quite low gear ratios.
The 1.6 engine is good off the mark but lacks real power as it is quite a big heavy coupe. It has been reasonably reliable but isn't driven any more due to the insurance price being stupidly high as I am only 18.
I would love a GTX or especially the Turbo model but insurance prevents this :(
