Well here she is. I sold it over 5 years ago, but still miss it. Only made for one year with a 95hp 2.0. Very, very rare. Very unreliable, very expensive maintenace, too hard to find parts for it, timing belt broke. Long story short, $8500 to drive it for a year and a half. Hard lesson learned.

This was my first car (except it was Maui Blue)



Damn it was a fun car. Got the 3rd one ever sold by the dealership in NJ. It was a 1990 model, bought in Dec of '88! Solid car, never had a problem with it. Sold in '95 for a Contour SE.

I test drove one of those Renaults long ago. It was the coupe and it drove pretty peppy. I loved the body effects, back in the 80's that was a hot car.

My uncle had a regular 5 door hatch Renault. Probably the slowest car I've ever driven...

A Renault GTA! A friend of mine had one as well back in the day! Same color, hard top. He had a set of wheels on it, custom lowering because nobody had springs for it. I believe those cars actually had air brakes not unlike those of a 18 wheeler or bus.
