1992 Renault 19 RN from UK and Ireland - Comments

I have had the car almost its whole life. Apart from normal wear and tear replacements I have had the following;

2 broken front coil springs, only apparent at MOT time.

Gear lever broke.

Clutch pedal assembly had to be replaced.

Car has always run hot, and the heater is very poor.

Idling speed is very unstable.

None of these I think are that exceptional. The one that is odd is that the car is now on its FOURTH Ignition/Starter Switch. These have failed at regular intervals leaving the car immobilized, but unsecured (the key cannot be removed)

Renault claim that they have no significant problem with the item, and virtually that mine is the only one ever to fail. It keeps doing so, such that its something I'm always expecting.

Does anyone else have this experience or am I really the only one?

Reasonably comfortable.

Very dull and slow.

If the car is too slow for you, why didn't you get the Rsi, which is a 1.8i 8v

Or R19 1.8i 16v, or if that's too slow go for a R25 2.0i, 2.2i, 2.6i, 2.9i turbo. Or other than that, just buy a F15 jet.
