1988 Renault 11 GTX review from UK and Ireland
"It's effectively been free motoring for the last 10 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The accelerator cable snapped at 40,000 miles.
The exhaust needed replaced after 60,000 miles and then again after 110,000.
Some minor sill welding was required after 18 years.
General comments?
The car has been extremely reliable since day one.
In 20 years, it has never failed an MOT and has always started, irrespective of the weather.
The front seats were the best that Renault have come up with for any car.
