When i was 15 my uncle laet me drive his 1985 1400 gts, and i said to my self if i ever get the chance to get i wud, im 18 now and on the 15th july i saw one for a £150 i paid £100 for it! 1987 1200 TC taxed till october mot till april 04 it hasnt broke down on me yet slight juddering wen accelerating and stalls wen in low revs. part from that it fires up straight from the key every morning! if anyones breaking for spares let me know!
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 OWNED THE TURBO VARIANT OF THIS CAR,IT HAD VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE BUT WAS NOT VERY RELIABLE.PARTS WERE QUITE EASY TO GET BUT EXPENSIVE.IT SEEMED QUITE RUST RESISTANT BUT TRIM WOULD LITERALLY FALL OFF

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.
