1995 Renault 19 RT review from UK and Ireland
"Extremely poor build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes at 12,000, not due to braking hard.
Renualt garage people create problems like the exhaust which was meant to have gone at 14,000 miles and we still have after 3 years. High service costs with lot of unnecessary parts being changed.
General comments?
Lacks acceleration.
Very poor round corners.
Very noisy even at 70mph.
Uncomfortable.
No build quality.
But economical and only good for shopping and DIY shops due to the big boot and rear space when the seats are folded down.
