1989 Renault 11 GTS 1.4 petrol from Turkey
Summary:
Cheap car, and deserves every penny
Faults:
I've had the car for 6 months. I bought it for a cheap price, and spent a lot of money on it.
My car runs on both petrol and LPG. I had misfire; I was told it was the head gasket, but instead I gave it a service; I changed the oil and the oil filter, and also the spark plugs; works perfectly at the moment.
The spares are cheap in my country, and can be found everywhere.
It's an economic car, and it beats a lot of new car at the traffic lights. It has a 72hp engine.
General Comments:
The front seats are are uncomfortable.
I use on LPG, and it always starts and makes me smile.
Reliable car, and although it's 1.4 72hp, I have hit 170km/h on the dial while using petrol.
Cute car, cheap to run, has street credit in turkey, and because there are more 1.0L engines around, people are always stopping next to me (at traffic lights), and rev their engines (to race).
A cheap car, but if I had enough money to buy another car, I wouldn't have bought it. But as an alternative, it's a beauty; I think it's a Turkish road warrior.
I have some little squeaks inside, but who cares, it gets me around. For its price I would recommend it, because it's cheap.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Having owned a 11 TXE for nine years. I can say the trouble with clutch is the fork arm in the gearbox wears on the end and on the pivot, that's why the cable keeps snapping.
Hope this helps. Tom.
