    I have owned M3's, Audi Quattro Turbo, Integrales and a Mercedes Cosworth but still I had to get a GT Turbo as had great momories of a friends car.
    It has lived up to expectations but was very hard to find a decent Raider edition so found one with good engine and completely restored the car meticulously and was worth the time and effort. I have the car as standard now and is so rewarding to drive even though does take a little effort with an up rated clutch and no power steering.
    Sum it up: Gre ...

    Drive one before you judge one. Good amount of power for its weight, very retro styling and a hoot to drive.

    I ' ve got a 1.4 gtt in gray all standard with full history pound of receipts and 0ne owner very rare with 52,000 miles on the clock even the wheels I ' m going to keep it standard I would recommend one. Insurance is expensive but worth also to everyone else out there look after these cars as they are brilliant and want to be seeing these around for years to come as these new hatches don ' t touch these.

    The Renault 5 is a very nippy little car wish i never sold mine but I'm going to buy it back.
    Its brilliant best car in the world!
    Likes drinking petrol and sometimes sets fire to the car behind on traffic lights.
    Oh yeah it was a raider! and I miss it.

    I've had 5 of these bad boys and they r the best car ever! Performance is brilliant and the add ons are excellent.....
    One of the best cars ever built in my view and the monte carlo rally proves it! If you can find one that is!

    The Renault 5 GT Turbo is the best hatch made, I beat a 3.0 ltr v6 clio on a quarter mile in my old car, If I could find another one to buy I would, I've just got the gt turbo replica based on campus model.

    I've had my grey Renault 5 GT Turbo for coming up on 6 years just a few months after passing my test. Its only had 2 owners and had 60k on the clock, was totally standard. Its insurance group 14, and i can understand leave it on a street long enough it never fails to attract an unwelcome audience! I've always had another car to keep my 5 good (no shopping trips for it, this car was kept garaged while my new V6 Coupe froze), its been the best car ive ever owned old or new. I'd probably recommend ...

    I was lucky with the Renault 5 GT Turbo. It was a company car and I happened to work within a couple of miles of Wimbledon, which meant Radbourne Racing was the local Renault dealer. The deal was "no discount, but I get all the Radbourne "engine mods" and so the little red bomb was born.

    I managed to get it without the garish "turbo" sticker down the side, and the only exterior clues to the changes were a tiny aluminium "Radbourne Racing" plate on the tailgate and the giveaway of the rather o ...

    Would recommend the Renault 5 GT Turbo now though if it was to be used as a paperweight, though not so good at that because of its low kerbweight. This is one amazing car. Though one tank before speed cameras went away up the A7 at 19mpg eek!

    I have had my Renault 5 GT Turbo for half a year now and I love every moment I am in it. It puts a smile on my face and the looks you get in it are huge. Every time I stop and park up some one is always coming up and saying it's nice to see one in good condion. To still see one on the road and it puts a big smile on my face the only thing with it is the insurance it cost me £4100 that's the only thing that hurts. But when I get in it I forget all about the insurance when I am in second gea ...

    I had two Renault 5 GT Turbo's back in the 90's. As reviewed by Performance Car magazine, in which the car came 3rd best hot hatch of all time, only behind Peugeot 1.9 and Williams, absolutely nothing past or present can touch an original GT Turbo. Age has killed them, as has bad ownership over the years, by clowns who could barely afford to insure the little car much less properly maintain one. That coupled with very bad garages who can't work on them without systematically destroying them, cou ...

    I have spent a lot of time an money on my 5... Engine mods, avo coil overs, leather and alcantara. All of which I would say were worth it! There are so many ways to personalise these cars, it's unreal. If you want one, just get one. I'm 20, and have always wanted one, obviously insurance has just allowed, and I can safely say, until I can afford my gti-r, I am keeping this!

    I've had my Renault 5 GT Turbo for about 12 month's, I've done 36 thousand mile's and had only two problem's. The clutch started to slip, but it was the original and had done 50k so that's fair! The perc fan failed, not a major problem but it died in the midst of a heatwave (typical!).
    Ever replaced one? Not hard, just annoying.
    Mine has had an extensive re-build over the last 10 year's, the previous owner was fanatic and replaced all the original Renault (god awful) part's.
    No problem's to ...

    If you treat the Renault 5 GT Turbo right then it will be your pride and joy for as long as you have it. It'll make you spend all of your money on it to make it look and perform better and better, there is so many different things that you can get for this car so you can easily make it one of a kind.

    These Renault 5 GT Turbo cars are too fast for its hot hatch category, no car in its class can match it for performance unless they do engine conversions etc, very tunable and big power is there for whoever wants it. Just drivin down the road people sit and take notice, but it also attracts thieves as I have experienced. These cars in truth are reliable, but due to the way these cars have not been looked after properly, missed services, get thrashed by boy or girl racers everyday contributes to ...

    I have an H-Reg unmodified grey Renault 5 GT Turbo. She has an astonishing: 143,000 miles from new! Bet you didnt think they could do that!? & Un marked interior! Only defects that have been sorted were: Front O/S hub & bearing, Passenger electric window motor died, Exhaust Downpipe! When I bought her she hadnt moved in 2 years so not bad considering!! & had a dead battery which just got me to the garage, no service history, no tax or test the list goes on.... Now waiting for other parts to retu ...
