Well... there's as many opinions as there's people, so I guess Mr. coventryblack is entitled to speak his
But for fairness sake I must say that comparing a Renault 19 to Peugeot 505 is a bit far fetched... 'cause 505 is what it is. IMHO.
And finally back to the subject... I tested the car on thursday, it seemed pretty fine I think. One tiny spot of rust, handling was very well, and the overall feel was pretty positive. I'm going to take it to a proper inspection on monday and then I'll either buy it or flush it. Let's see.
