1987 Renault 25 GTS from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing worth talking about. In 13 years it's had a couple of batteries, a clutch (cost £97 fitted) and a few other minor things. I've heard of two year old cars with far more problems.

Extremely comfortable, reliable and good looking car. Still no rust after 13 years and a fair mileage.

40-45 MPG can be achieved on longer runs.

Must be the most reliable model in the range as everyone you speak to says the 2.0 manual's just go on and on. Shame the Auto boxes weren't built as well as the manual!

I'd recommmend a well looked after GTS or TX to anyone who wants a cheap to own older car which you can pick up for next to nothing.

I agree with the above stated a hundred percent. The Renault 25 has a wonderful, elegant design, a "bullet proof" engine (often said to survive more than 300 000 km), and for its money offers a level of comfort similar to Mercedes and BMW.

Hi, an update on my R25 GTS. Well, I sold it and got a Laguna RXE and I wish I hadn't. The R25 had a soul. The Laguna has a face. The R25 was the very epitomy of reliability. I haven't seen the Laguna for nearly 2 weeks due to a knackered engine. And while I drive round in a Pug 405 Diesel (YUCHHH!) my R25 happily glides past every day with it's new, very happy owner at the helm! I am not alone in saying if the R25 was still made I would be at the front of a long queue for a new one..

Hello, I bought a Renault 25 gts from 1987 in May 2001.

I am very happy with it.

The car was extremely cheap and so far I have only had to repair the dynamo.

The car looks good (I think) and it drives

like a battleship.

The former owner did regret selling his!

I can understand.

Yes, I too have had a wonderful time with a 1986 2.2 manual. I avoided the automatic model because of the terrible reputation it has. Wonderful, big, relatively cheap to run, trouble free - what more can you ask for?
