Good Points

most exciting car i have owned, always brings a smile to your face when you floor it.

Bad Points

none anymore than any other car , if maintained & looked after a cracking little car

General Comments

the renault 5 gt turbo is continually suprising me with it's abilities, ive owned it for over 2 years in which time i have modified quite extensivly, and it has only broken down once due to a worn alternator.i suppose its a matter of opinion, but i love the lines of the car and am happy to have discovered this 'wolf in sheeps clothing' :-)

    top man, you are truly right. look after them and they will give you lots of fun." just like my wife"

    nothing else can give you that smile as when you open up the turbo hear that gurgle and the whossing sound of that dump valve releasing it's self.

    every one who has not had one should buy one.

    Vroom...Tish!...VRoom...Tish!...Vroom!...Tish! Need i say more? Wolf in sheeps clothing indeed! Pocket rocket, Own one before you die! Great little cars, and a smile from ear to ear everytime you drive one... I will never sell mine, never! Get one now!!!

    totally agree. ive had my 5 gt for 9 years now and looked after it properly. mobil 1 oil, serviced, cleaned, and maintained so when its taken to 130 mph it cruises and stays put on the tarmac. This little babes got 210 bhp from well lane in batley west yorkshire and rips just about anything that wants a go. its for sale soon as i want a bike!?. £4500 to a good home.
