Renault 5 Reviews

Three years ago i bought a brand new clio 1.2rn, one with the bubble shaped back. It had been the most reliable car i had ever had untill 6 months ago i over took someone with the engine at 6500revs. The cam belt snapped and i was left with a complete disaster under the bonnet! For the past two years i have spent a small fortune doing all ...  Read the complete review

I Love This Car! I'm just about to buuy one to modify. I think it is super car to modify. You can pick this cars up 2nd hand for as little as £150/£250 up to nearer £1500 depending what condition they're in. If you buy them ready modified then they'll cost more. Price will vary on the modified cars because of what they've had ...  Read the complete review

I got one of these just recently and I must admit I am quite happy with it. Like all second hand cars it is not perfect but it does have things going for it. My own model is a 1108 cc and does 40+ mpg. Parker's guide tells us that it does in the range 38-62 mpg (as far as I remember). I had hoped for nearer to the 60 than I get but ...  Read the complete review

I love my Renault 5, it's simply great. It looks cute and friendly, drives well, is cheap to run and insure, and will go on for ever. I bought my 5 in the summer of 1999. It's caused me no major problems really, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap way of motoring. For starters, the fuel consumption is ...  Read the complete review

I had a three door 1.7 GTX R5 from new, this being my first new car. Ironically, my old warhorse MK1 Golf GTI had finally gone west ,and without a large deposit, a new car was the only one I could afford ( you know, £99 down etc.) Despite foreknowledge that Renault's build quality was suspect, the car never gave any problems in that ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ The Renault 5 “Gordini” Turbo was the predecessor to the highly rated and successful Renault 5 GT Turbo. This car was one of the first “hot” hatchbacks, and spawned such competitors as the Volkswagen Golf GTi and the Peugeot 205 Gti. ~ ~ I bought my “Gordini” in the late 1980’s. It was a 1984 ...  Read the complete review

I’ve owned my 1989 Phase 2 GT Turbo for a few months now – it’s my second car (to a Renault 19 16v), which I bought for something to work on, and something fun and smaller to throw around the country lanes. The build quality is typical of late 80’s Renault basically – although my car seems to suffer less ...  Read the complete review

This is such a mint car. It is like a little pocket rocket and it is one of the finest hot hatches ever built. It has stlye, power, and plenty of finesse to make it that little bit better than the rest. From the stylish grille to the spoiler on the back it is a fine specimen of man made machinery. It has a huge fan base and is highly regared as ...  Read the complete review

This was the first real car I brought and it was brilliant, I had it for nearly 4 years, even though it was an E reg and it was billiant, I had only a few things wrong with it the whole time I had it and they were mainly wear and tear and each MoT only cost me about £100 or less. I brought it 4 years ago and it only cost me £1300.00 and it ...  Read the complete review

If you want to buy a first car, or you are on a budget, then this is the car for you. I have owned three Renault 5’s so far and all three have been worth every penny I have spent on them. They are relatively cheap to buy (if you compare them with similar Ford Fiesta models or Metros) but can be more expensive than other makes to maintain ...  Read the complete review
