1988 Renault 25 GTS review from UK and Ireland
"A poor man's Bentley"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiper stalk failed and refused to operate the washers.
Oil leak from sump gasket, exhaust center section blown.
General comments?
The car is wonderful to drive and is very reliable. As I am only 20 years old it seemed like an "Old Mans Car" but I have grown to love it and think everyone should ignore its dated looks and try it, it's not as bad as you think.
Even for a big car in 2 litre form it is still quite nippy and it makes a brilliant motorway cruiser. Mine repeatedly gives 35 mpg urban and 40 mpg at 56mph.
