Renault 25

Now in 2002 this car is a bit of a relic, but if you can find a well maintaned example with little miles, this car will last well into the 200,000 miles mark. I first obtained the car six years ago with 60,000 on the clock. The main reason i purchased it was the excellent comfort inside and the different features like the radio controls on the steering wheel columum. the car itself is built like a tank and i experienced very little if any rust om the body, but all this extra weight made the car extreamly heavy.

I bought a 1986 model of the 25 in 1989, with some 70,000 miles on the clock, and one previous owner. I ran it virtually trouble free for over 4 years, and when I eventually traded it in, I had put the speedo up to 220,000 miles. In my opinion, this was/is a very ...  Read the complete review
