Renault
RENAULT 16

5-door saloon.

Early fwd hatchback (announced December '64) and still one of the best - tons of room, very reliable, reasonable rust record, and stable in crosswinds if a little tricky on winding roads. Disc front brakes, four-on-the-column, and suspension similar to the 4's. Automatic, with bigger engine, 1969. This unit standard from '71.
