Renault 19 Hatchback 16 Valve Cat 3d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Loads of equipment, all standard and works well too - a surprisingly robust car.
Costs
Okay if maintained.

On the road
Driving
Goes well, but no torque - a fully laden one is slow.
Performance
Lift off throttle mid-bend at your peril. 3000-4000rpm flat spot cured with K&N filter - a must-have on this car.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine was fine, but gearboxes can be weak and fuel pumps can go due to people running low on fuel using the LCD tank display.
Image
Amazing in its day; better than my Golf 16v and more reliable.
Comfort
Seats comfy and supportive ride is very good.
