For its first attempt at a Golf rival, Renault decided to use a transversely-mounted Douvrin four-cylinder engine shared with the Peugeot 104. Although it made for good economic sense and fine packaging, Renault dealers and buyers weren’t keen on buying what they saw as a half-breed. The idiosyncratic styling also soon lent itself to the unflattering name of the ‘rotten pear’ – which tells you all you need to know.
