1996 Renault 19 Cabriolet review from UK and Ireland
"Something to love and hate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New drive-shaft.
New caliper.
New master cylinder.
New ABS pump (quoted £1300 from Renault!!!).
New brake hoses.
New ABS sensor.
Passenger window not working.
Central locking not working.
Drivers electric wing-mirror not working.
General comments?
Amazing styling.
Stunning and super comfortable seats.
Smooth engine.
Gear box takes a little getting used to.
Manual hood is kinda annoying, but at least it's one less thing to go wrong.
Handles amazing; very little scuttle shake.
Steering is better than Escorts by far.
Great car when it's not in the garage with huge bills!
