1991 Renault 5 Campus Diamond 1.1 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Fun, cheap and cheerful say no more
Faults:
Just the radiator, one day it decided to leek all over the place and the next it got me 60 miles without going wrong. I bought one from a scrap yard for 5 pounds.
It failed its MOT due to a near side passenger ball joint on the steering column.
It had a slight amount of rust on the wheel arch. I corrected the problem and no problems since.
The bonnet has got a slight whole in it too.
General Comments:
The Plus points.
It is a lovely cheap, fun loving car. The insurance is cheap, it does 42 miles + to the gallon and can get you and four other passengers from a to b. With a 1.1 one engine it is nifty to fifty and can stop just as quick. The boot space is surprisingly big and I managed to fit a bike in the back with the seats rear seats folded down. The front seats are comfortable and the backs not so bad either. I have great appreciation for this car as
It is my first and I passed my test in it too. The tax is in the lower band bracket.
Against
Limited rear legroom, cheap plastic until I made it shine. The sunroof is hard to open.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
