1991 Renault 25 TXE Executive review from UK and Ireland
"French style and comfort at a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dashboard computer needed replacing. This was blown by previous owner jump-starting the car incorrectly.
Refurbished alternator.
New brake discs and pads on front.
General comments?
A very comfortable car with leather and electric seats. The ride is smooth and the handling is good for a car of this size.
The automatic gearbox is not very smooth and saps the power making overtaking something to be avoided unless there is plenty of room. The fuel consumption is better than expected, but by no means frugal.
The controls are generally logical and easy to use apart from the slightly awkward centre console switches which haven't been altered from the original left hand drive format.
The brakes are somewhat spongy, but still effective. However, the throttle pedal can be uncomfortable on long journeys. Again, this is a result of being a right hand drive car. Cruise control would ease this.
