Drank petrol like crazy, had to fight people off from sitting on it and taking photos on a daily basis. But even after all that I’d still buy another one again. And every boy racer within 100 miles will try and race you lol

    Only Renault would put a V6 engine in the middle of a supermini. Nissan can do the same by stuffing the same V6 engine and the AWD system from the GT-R inside the Micra. After all, Nissan is under Renault ownership.

    +RubberDuck Not as easy as you may think. Since it was never sold here, it would have to pass all required safety and emissions tests before it could be driven on the roads so unless you're willing to let NHTSA crash one first, that option is pretty much out. You'd have to wait until it turns 30 years old.

    dazzaburger the reason why they're going up in price is because you wont be able to see another production hatchback with a MR layout besides the Renault 5 Turbo. Also they were kind of limited to about 4000 cars produced. Too bad these never came to the US like most cars I desire.
