My Dad also bought a new Renault in the early 80,s (fancied a change from VX) dont remember which model tbh. He accellerated away from a roundabout and the drivers seat mountings broke with the force of the accelleration!!,leaving him more or less in the rear seat lookinf at the roof lining while trying to bring the car to a halt,which he somehow managed to do. ;D

Ive had loads of Peugeots and Citroen and never really had a problem worth mentioning. Luck of the draw in most cases.

I had a Renault 25 TXE once before. It was ever so comfy, and it used to speak which was very, very cool. However I bought it for my ex Mrs. We had it I think 3 months in that time, the rear n/s electric window broke, the auto gearbox went, and the exhaust fell off. Other than that it was good. Originally I bought it for the mrs with plans to sell on, which I did, a £3000 car at the time sold for £500, due to the huge costs of anything from Renault.
