1987 Renault 25 V6 review from Denmark
"An exceptional car if you can afford the repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electronics of the automatic gearbox failed making up-shifts unpredictable and down-shifts all too frequent.
Disc-brakes all round worn out at about 190,000 km.
General comments?
It is an excellent car which is only let down by its automatic gearbox and very expensive service and repair.
It is by far the most comfortable car I have ever driven.
Once after having driven 1,200 km I got out of it totally relaxed and already wanting to drive again.
