1995 Renault 19 RL review from Hungary
"One of the best and most beautiful cars in the world"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery is still the original one, sometimes only starts the second time.
I had to replace the water pump, which was already replaced with 3000 km in 1995.
General comments?
I could make these 75 horses go 190 kph in the autobahn. I love it, cause it is really comfortable, even though there are nearly no extras in it.
Big seats. Although it's a coupe it is comfortable even in the back seats.
Doesn't drink a lot, 8.5 l in the city, 5.7 l in the autobahn around 130.
When a motor biker crashed it in the city with around 60-80 kph from the right side, I did not harm at all. I had no one sitting on the right seat, but he could have only harmed only because the tough biker broke the glass. No ABS, no airbag, nothing, but it is still safe. And these things I'm not saying because of my previous car, I tried many others, too.
