1979 Renault 18 GTS review from Spain
"If you still got one, you've got a jewel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Basically is still running and just needed the usual changes, maintenance and replace the normal pieces when cars become older.
Last thing I changed was the driver's seat belt connector.
General comments?
Reliable, economical if you don't go up 110 km/h, comfortable, but maybe the suspension is too soft, so you need to be cautious with the speed in closed curves.
