A long career for this little city car which even managed to be the best selling car in France from 1986 to 1989, just like the sacrosanct Peugeot 205 which was a real competitor in this market. Competitors, they will be on all the finishes of their respective models and even in the sportiness; indeed, if Peugeot presents its mythical 205 GTI in 1984, Renault enters this sector one year after the lion brand.
