Own a 1988 1.7 TXE. Bought it with 60k on the clock for £350. Would highly recommend it. It hates starting when cold and isn't the cheapest thing to maintain - but its extremely comfortable and pretty nippy whilst returning a very sensible mpg. Cheap to insure and reliable on the whole. Electric windows, sunroof, remote alarm - and there's very little that wont fit on the boot with the seats down! I'd have another. Be sorry to see it go.

I love my Renault! OK, so it's old, the heater
doesn't work, the shocks need replacing and
one of the driveshafts is on the fritz, but
apart form that, my Renault 11 rocks! Why
buy a 4WD? Have you ever checked out the
ride height on an 11? It's obscene! This car
has amazing off-road abilities. I've taken mine
repeatedly over farm yard tractor rutted
unmade roads with people in it and almost
never bottomed out. Anyone out there got a
heater matrix?

As these cars are not popular very cheap to buy hence i own two. I find them generally dull to drive build quality poor reliability very good 87
1.4 gtl £275 2.5 years still running

87 auto £310 1.5 years no problem till this week carb fault!
summary buy cheapest lowest mileage you can get, run as long as you can then throw away! excellent disposable car

I think this is the most ugly, thoughtlessly designed heap of crap ever to grace the tarmac of the United Kingdom.

The Renault 11 1.4 is my first car and I love it.
Because its old, it doesn't really matter what happens to it. Its a great car for tinkering with although parts a re difficult to get hold of.

I owned a 1987 Campus 1108 until
recently (from new). 156,000 miles.
Original engine and, believe it or not
original clutch. Been thru 5 clutch
cables before I had the pedal & cable
modified (at Renault's expense). Also
been thru 4 LH drive shafts. Other than
that, a comfortable, reliable (yes,
despite the above!), pleasant to drive,
does NOT rust, economical (44 mpg).
Thoroughly recommended. (NOTE: don't
listen to the crap some people,
including some dealers, will tell you
about not being able to run on UNLEADED.
All Renaults built since 1986 were
fitted with hardened valves seats. All
you need do is retard the ignition by 3
degrees BTDC. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN
THESE ON LRP - BE WARNED!!

I have a 1237cc 1987 Reanult 11, and as a student, it's a really good car. It's inhrited from my mother, and has NEVER broken down in 13 years(apart from the clutch cable snapping once). It's spacous, cheap and an OK ride. If your thinking of getting a first car, then this is miles better than any fiesta, polo or metro then you may see. Out of all my friends cars, mines the biggest, fastest and most reliable. Yeah, the trims flimsy, but if you get a fairly low milage one, thats not been shagged, you'll be sorted. I drive mine really hard, and have just been on holiday around the continent in it, and it's just broken the 50,000 mile barrier, and it can still top 100 mph, just!

Not the most beautiful machine, but a very underrated car all the same.
