HISTORY Renault R4 (by UPTV)

[opelmadness]

I find it amusing that there's no filming with sound from inside the car.

Driving on a rough road will be deafening experience..

A tad different from my '02 Laguna 1,8 Tourer. :-)

But the R4 is a charming and robust little car.

Thanks for posting.

[doraemon8061]

But I hear ppl say it's woefully slow.... true?

[Rutgerpeer]

@doraemon8061 I got one, the last model produced, called the R4 GTL. It's got an 1100 cc engine and will go about 120, if lucky 130 (no wind etc.) though it drives most comfortably around 110 km/h. I tell you, that feels like 140 in a car like that. The accelleration is not that good but it's not that bad either. You can get along okay in normal traffic, especially in the city. Highwaydriving is just not that fast but just good.

que copado auto che lo digo en serio!!!

[LPmarkac]

Friend and I are fresh/new drivers. We decided to invest in car together, and this is our choice! YEAH!

[alpine1600s]

R4 for those who want something different. I'd have a R4 over any current American GM vehicle any day!

[guitarmafia20]

ugly fucking piece of junk

[marcvie9]

the song sounds like the russian anthem slowed down lol

[zvoneACDCrak]

like if you still driving it in 2011.

[Annihilator1111]

im here cause of klopka

[cawimmer430]

Now THIS is a car. A Toyota Corolla is a BORING APPLIANCE with NO SOUL. The Renault R4 captivated a whole generation who grew up with it. It was a car that parents bought and their children inherited, which says a lot about their quality and reliability. The R4, despite its simple and quirky styling, was roomy, comfortable and simple and it got you from A to B in comfort. The Renault R4 is a car with character and heritage. It is a LEGEND and a true classic car.

[nicopitt350]

que autaso!!! lo mas simple y encima se la banca como ninguno!! yo tengo una modelo 65 impecable, un sueño..

[freethoughtmusic]

My Godmother had one when I was still in Europe. It was cool but I'll stick to Mercedes thanks all the same.

[GamerAndReviewer]

Renault sucks. It always has stupid commercials with too much propaganda. =P

Before some years, we had a commercial of Renault which said: "Smart people drive Renault!"

Yeah and stupid people drive a Mercedes, a BMW, an Alfa Romeo or even a Lamborghini which are awesome cars!

Fuck French cars! =P

[Skoda130]

@GamerAndReviewer Commercials by definition are "propaganda".

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

@TheFlemingsgarage I had 3 of them when I was starting to drive, they were great loved them would like one now.

[chiboub100]

super cat ooooooooooooooh yeh

[cawimmer430]

What an awesome car. The Renault R4 is a legend. It's a shame that nobody appreciates those old, yet solid and innovative French cars anymore. These days you have people bitching about how an economy car is "underpowered" with 150-horsepower and everything is about 0-60 etc. How utterly pathetic. I'd rather drive something special like a Renault R4 or Citroen 2CV than some boring and overrated Toyota Corolla.

[Aenigmaa]

Am I the only one who thinks this song sounds like the Soviet National Anthem? Just listen to it and compare O.o

[amjovi]

my mate has one running on g3 gas since 1987.. has just a bit over 580.000kms on it! original engine, just bought some replacement shit

[PlibergFUn74]

Our familly had two of them first R4 TL Special (850 ccm) and then R4 GTL (1100 ccm)..theyere just magnificent and unbreakable.

[virtu81]

My father had a Renault 4, seats were like so comfortable and it was a pretty unique car, it had character. Never forgotten it.

[tamir1979]

aguante el gordini!

[ferni1glass]

@tamir1979 el gordini creo que fue el mas duro de los renault

[tamir1979]

@ferni1glass si la suspencion no era tan blanca como el r4, tenes razon, pero no era tan duro. me trae buenos recuerdos, tienen el mismo motor, y la caja era muy similar. yo al gordini despues le puse el motor del R12 un 1400cc. saludos!

[ferni1glass]

@tamir1979 hola estimado tamir: cuando me refiero a duro me refiero a solidez coche robusto de mecanica no duro de suspencion...

saludos!!

[tamir1979]

@ferni1glass ah estaba copado el auto, si era chapa chapa!! le podias sacar la suspencion solo con sacarle 4 tornillos, y el motor  era un fierro! saludos

[JoseFernandoMartine1]

Absolutamente espectacular, tal vez el mejor comercial que ilustra todas las bondades del extraordinario Renault 4, que este año cumple los 40 años de historia en Colombia. Gracias mil Renault 4 por acompañarnos.

[Mdonkin961]

ahh the good ole days

[sport3mallorkin]

k pedazo de video forever renault 4

[earlscourtsw10]

Beautiful!

[toyotaprius79]

I love these cars but for the suspension to be made, at the left or right side of the car the wheel-base has to be longer and that's shady quality. Yet interesting.

[oDMWo]

THE BEST CAR EVER!

[SCgibbo]

My granpa still has his. It brinngs me so many memories

[eminentcaraudiocolom]

nice car !!!

[verwoerd]

I'm surprised to find so many nostalgic and affectionate comments about the R4 - maybe I am too young (mid fourties). A few of my mates at university had one and they were all pretty tired bangers though they weren't that old.

In Germany, it was considered about as rickety as the 2CV, only much uglier.

[anassgame]

Great engine

[helmuthoorn]

Everyone who once had the privilige to own and drive one of these has fond memories of it.

[fabribho]

e un mito e continuera ad eserlo grazie a noi..e viva i raduni di renault 4!!!

[Rene8765]

Feines Auto.

[zactac2001]

molta nostalgia.. la nostra era color panna :') sigh

[tupadreeselsorro]

haber si renault vuelve a fabricar este coche, tan sencillito como el de antes pero con un motor diesel y frenos abs, seria la bomba.

[atwistoflemming]

Mine would do 0 to 60......

[Msmtawansy]

isn't she Cute =)

[krashevich]

Simple & good.

Very cheap maintenance, tough and rough.

Unstoppable, practical.

There wont be no cars like this anymore...

[shaigen1]

@krashevich the kia soul is abit like this.

[krashevich]

@shaigen1

Yes, interesting car but it's full of technology, which is good on one side ( security, comfort, handling..) but an average person can't do almost nothing for maintenance or repair.

The "problem" is that we wont give up all this technology and comfort we have now anymore...

[stuntmanquad]

J'en veux une !!!

[1337H4xx0r90]

a friend of mine just bought one of them.

i lol`d

[Nickm535i]

The best two cars I have ever owned!

[jonjamg]

My first car!!! I loved it! It was white too! The bench seats, the central gear change, the air vents, the tail gate and space!! Oh cannot go on - where have the last 33 years gone to? M 738 MNV - Mind you was a real s*d to start on damp days - underneath the bonnet it was like Blackpool Illuminations!

[grupploso]

Grezza come un trattore,inarrrestabile e con quel cambio un po così.Grande R4.

[Tregemenn]

im almost crying because i dont got a renault :( and my mother sendt the megane to scrapeyard and bugth a audi, but now it looks like a bad deal.. it was rust on it and its a 2002 model. ++ much electrical faults..

[XxXCesarMVPXxX]

Renault 4 Rulez!

[frankd1965]

Former Italian Premier Aldo Moro was found in the back of a Renault 4.

[MINOTAURE27]

These should still be in production, they were amazing, affordable and very practical autos.

[indiodeoro]

I remember when a mexican company (Marinela) had a fleet of Renault 4's to delivered wrapped cakes; Since then I fell in love with this car, but is almost impossible to find one in good conditions.

[GFWahoo]

una auténtica joya automotriz

[altridicorbentraz]

...la più bella e divertene macchina mai provata...la sogno ancora

[kn1ghtstemplar]

The Algarve in Portugal is still full of these great cars and they all seem to be white.

[lizZzie12345]

Had one...110km/h...downhill only. But it was reliable and easy to fix. Unfortunately they rust fast

[rapidset]

i had one of these and it was brilliant !i would buy one again at the drop of a hat
