Way back in May 1997 I got a Renault 19 1989 F 1.7 GTX 3 door. It was in Renault Carmen Red. The roof was quite badly discoloured. This is quite a common problem on the 19 and on the 5. I paid £995 for it then with 112k miles on the clock. I had it for 18 months and sold it with 155k miles. The engine was one of the old pushrod type engine (OHV). The engine was as hard as nails - very reliable. It was quite heavy on petrol on urban driving. The good side to the 19 is it has quite a good interior. The handling was also good. It was quite fast for the type of engine it has because the 1.4 energy is just as quick. The OHV engine is an old ...

I’ve owned my Renault 19 16v for two and a half years now – it’s been one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned up until now (which has been quite a few – several of which were much newer company cars).

I bought a Renault 19 this year and was very pleased with it. It was a 1989 1.7 TXE 5speed. Although I paid £650 for it, it looked a lot newer than it was, and many commented on how smart it was. The performance was good, as was the road handling. As with most French cars, the ride is smooth and relaxing. I found the engine to be a little noisy at high speed, but in town it was quite acceptable. The engine sounds great with a distinctive roar from the exhaust when accelerating. Fuel consumption is not as good as it could be. Mine did 25 mpg,in town, and 35 mpg on a long journey. I have a friend who has a 19, and we both found our cars to have similar ...
