Renault 5 Campus 3d (1989/G) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
The fun i've had in mine and the comments i had off of my mates (who are hard to please) EXCELLENT!
Costs
Okay i've replaced almost every engine part from the alternator to the head gasket ,but it was cheap and i did it by myself and mates and when complete it went 0-40 in 6 secs flat.

Driving
One of the most exciting cars to driving, the looks when tuned are unbelievable also as it doesn't have a silent engine when fitted with a decent full exhaust system and induction it can beat the sound of a Ferarri
Performance
It is a 1.1, but it has beaten a 1.4i Clio in a short drag but then when hitting 50+MPH it takes a good hour.

Living with it
Reliability
Went threw the biggest puddle and the engine cut out, but if you want memories this car will give you enough to last a life time!
Image
I went more for engine than looks, but fit a decent exhaust i have a Peco BB2 all the way through with a max Power Induction kit the increase in bhp is officially 23bhp! And the sound is like no other absoultly, BRILLIANT!
Comfort
For a car of this age much better than my current Saxo and other older cars i've been in, it's extremely comfy also you can have the back of the seat all the way down so a friend can sit or your lap )

Security and Service
Security
Poor, i had a two circuit immobiliser fitter and they still tried knicking me car, but they didn't, so 2 points added
