  Renault 5GT Turbo (1985 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  The Renault 5GT Turbo vied with the Peugeot 205 GTI and Volkswagen Golf GTI as one of the defining hot hatchbacks of its era. With a 0-60mph time of a whisker more than seven seconds and a maximum speed of 123mph, it was certainly the quickest of the front runners. When the Gordini Turbo
• 
  Renault 21 (1986 - 1994) (Classics Reviews)
  The Renault 21 was an all-new replacement for the popular R18, and arrived on the scene to do battle with the Ford Sierra and Vauxhall Cavalier in the fleet market. It was neat looking thanks to styling by Giugiaro, and was probably the most conventional-looking car yet by La Regie
• 
  Renault 19 (1988 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
  The Renault 19 was the replacement for the underperforming R9/11, and like the 21, was neatly - if unimaginatively - styled by Ital Design. It was originally powered by Renault's new E-type (or Energy) 1.4-litre and F-type 1.7-litre power units - both of which were a considerable leap forward
• 
  Renault 21 Turbo and Quadra (1988 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
  The Renault 21 Turbo was one of the unsung heroes of the performance saloon market of the 1980s. It arrived on the crest of a wave from France that included the Citroen BX 16V and Peugeot 405 Mi16, but the Renault outgunned both. When La Regie bolted on a turbo the 2.0-litre 21 saloon
• 
  Renault Clio Mk1 (1991 - 1998) (Classics Reviews)
  Launched at the 1990 Paris motor show, the Renault Clio had a big job to do. The car it replaced, the ageing Renault 5, was regarded as a national treasure. In fact, the R5 continued to be sold after the Clio was launched, finally going out of production in 1996. Underneath, the Clio
• 
  Renault Safrane (1992 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
  Launched in 1992, the Renault Safrane was an executive car that was the most luxurious (and most expensive) in the manufacturer's line up. Think of it as a spiritual predecessor to the Vel Satis , which
• 
  Renault Twingo (1993 - 2007) (Classics Reviews)
  The Renault Twingo was conceived as a new entry-level model, to slot in beneath the Clio, and occupy the market sector once filled by the R4 and basic R5. It was a radical to look at thanks to a monobox design, which was largely influenced by the success
• 
  Renault Clio Williams (1993 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
  The Renault Clio Williams set the template for all of the hot Renaults that followed it. It was powered by a 2.0-litre 16-valve engine for an excellent power to weight ratio, ditching the vogueish need for a turbocharger. The Williams was uprated over standard Clio 16V by 200cc and 15bhp
• 
  Renault Laguna (1994 - 2001) (Classics Reviews)
  Launched in 1994, the Renault Laguna proved a hit with buyers. The pen of designer Patrick Le Quement seemed to take everything that Renault had learnt about car making and distil it into one, excellent model. There was an engine for everyone. Drivers could choose from 1.8 or 2.0-litre

• Fuel level gauges 19 Dec 2000 (Forum)
  Hi, I read a few weeks ago about the not-so accuate fuel level readings from the dash-board readout. I read HonestJohn's reply to this, and he stated that is is something to do with the design of the fuel tank (!?!). I recently brought a new Renault Clio (X-reg) and everytime I come to refuel
