Renault 5 (old type) 5-doors

Car No. 9
From 14/06/2005 to 07/01/2006

The Renault 5 Automatic sold much faster than expected, causing me to be without a car for a while. This time I wanted something different: a GT-version of a Renault 5 (but without turbo) or one with 5 doors so I could easily take passengers with me. Well, somebody had a very old Renault 5 for sale, which I bought.

Driving the older Renault 5 version is really different compared to the newer Renault 5s, mostly because the suspension feels really weak, and the car has no brake assist. Some time before I went to Australia for the solar team activities I put up an ad for the sale of the car, but nobody replied. After I returned from Australia I gave away the car to someone who’s really into the old Renault 5 types, also because the car registration ended.
