1994 Renault 19 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Make sure you get a good warranty!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Am now on my third gearbox this year and second clutch, hand brake shot to bits, needs a new one desparately.
Drive shaft was close to falling from the car after purchase, head gasket is looking worrying.
Other minor things such as new battery, pads and discs.
Bodywork suffering slightly, stonechips need attention as bonnet is now looking pebble dashed.
General comments?
Overall a fun car to drive, on the right day. Cooler temperatures means slightly better performance.
Handling is superb, sticks to the road well, and fun to play with. It won't win any prizes as the fastest car out there, but it also won't win any as the slowest.
