I am one of the few people in the United States that have ever owned one of these. I was living in Denver and my daily commute took me past numerous used car lots. I saw an 85 on a lot and the asking price fell weekly for months. My particular Sportwagon had 19,485 miles on it when I bought it for $2750.00 and it was five years old and in excellent condition. It was a 5spd so considerably faster than the automatic. Drove it an additional 185,000 miles until rust and the difficulty of getting parts and service consigned it to the scrap yard. Never failed to start or left anyone stranded. Failures were few and far between and the only thing that didn't work on it in the end was the cassette player.
Dont understand by they used that american 2.2 when renault had there own 2.0 and 2.2 which where both more powerful than the 2.2 ueed in the usa 120 and 140hp
Really not know I just guess it's because it's smaller than most of the big wagons that were around at time. In the present-day there is a sport trim of a Subaru Forester that's not faster than any of the others it's just an appearance package that looks kind of sporty.
5:32 - I know I'm 40 years late Max, but if you'd try actually wearing your hat (instead of having it perched up there), you might find the headroom in this car easier to live with.
I don't understand why Renault makes the suspensions softer on the American market models. Finally the journalists find it too soft ! It doesn't make sens. Same with the Fuego, the Medallion...
