1969 Renault 10 R10 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best value for money car - ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car is the most comfortable car I have ever driven - bar none. I was in the military when I owned this car and traveled all over Australia with it. A thousand kilometre day was not unusual and it never let me down once.
The fuel tank filler beside the engine was a worry and a lot of garages in Australia at the time would not let you fill up for fear of fire.
The Michelin X tyres would last for ever, but you prayed for no rain.
The boot up front was enormous.
I actually rallied my R10 and had a ton of fun. The trick was to place a bag of cement in the front to cure the under-steer.
Did I love this car? You bet - I am currently trying to find a restorer in Australia for my retirement.
