1987 Renault GTA


Yeah, an Alliance, but not really. 1.9l instead of 1.7 and a very tight suspension - I could get air just driving over a railroad track. I'd still have it now if it wasn't for...

WHY?!?!?! WHY?!!?!!?!
Why not? It's not a sports car, but a cruiser, and 200 hp is all it needs to move fairly briskly, while still getting excellent fuel mileage.

It's really unfortunate that Chrysler was incompetent about car reliability. They used to make BEAUTIFUL convertibles. This was mine, 98 I believe, California.

I don't have a ton of $$$ and want a cruiser that will seat 4 full grown human beings in reasonable comfort. Pony cars and 2 seaters just don't get it. A top that goes down with a push of the button is mandatory.
