Fun car to drive, but poor quality and reliability unfortunately..!

Mine was even the same colour, but with black fenders, wheel arches and skirts. Dash was black too.
120 bhp stock but mine had a little more. More than enough for a car that weighed 840 kilo's!
 
..Now I have one of these (Without the wild race trim of course!):

Not as fast, but build quality and reliability are a lot better!
 
I used to own a Renault 5 too although mine was the basic version. I liked Renault cars and had a 16, 5, 14 and Fuego in that order. Between the 16 and 5 I had a Triumph 2000TC for a short while (without doubt the worst car I have ever owned) and after the Fuego I had a Citroen BX until I emigrated from the UK.
 
When we lived in the UK my wife had a Diesel Renault 5 can you imagine anything less powerful than that? It was like driving a bag of bolts to hear it start up. :jump:
