1985 Renault 11 GTL 5-dr review from UK and Ireland
"Thank God Renaults are better now!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Really poor damp starting.
Gearbox failed.
Radio never worked.
Locks very stiff.
General comments?
I should've known that spending £350
on a car (even at the age of 20) was
asking for it.
One of the worst cars I've ever owned!
I came out of a decent Cavalier into this French piece of junk as I'd had an accident and couldn't afford the insurance.
It was slow, handled like a double decker bus, the brakes were crap, and the gearbox ended up only working in 2nd and 4th.Bodywork was good though!
At the time it was probably a typical used Renault, I'd say avoid them like the plague, but there probably arn't any left in 2004!
Good job Renault make better motors these days.
