1988 Renault 11 gtl review from UK and Ireland
"A great alternative to a fiesta, nova and metro"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Early on when I first bought the car for £350, the clutch cable broke. This has since happened again.
Oil has been leaking out of somewhere for quiet a while. I seem to get through about 1 liter every 2 weeks.
The 11 failed it's M.O.T for having to high emissions, loose steering, rusty suspension mount. All fixed for £120.
The front electric passenger window has never worked since I bought the car.
General comments?
The car is quiet quirky and you don't see many around.
The stadard equipment is OK, I don't think you would see sliding sunroof, electric windows, remote central locking, front fog lights, rear wash/wipe and aiwa stereo in an F reg fiesta?
The performance is good for a 1.4. I have seen an indicated 105mph and it feels unbreakable.
The poor speakers need to be replaced though.
