`I drive a 1985 Renault 25 GTS (1995cc petrol carburetor engine) with almost 100.000 miles on the clock, bought new by my father.  We NEVER had any mayor reliability problem with this car. I do not know if plusher versions with fuel injection and more electronics have more ``gremlins`` as the article says.  The TS version had better aerodinamics because it had not right side mirror (or left side mirror in the UK), thinner tires and no wiper in the rear window.  This was a common thing in the 80´s: The cheapest versions of a car always had slightly better aerodinamics than the more upmarket versions.  ¿What about crashworthiness?. The Renault 25 was, more or less, at the same level that the much-touted and much heavier (and much earlier, must be said, to be honest) Volvo 200 (reference Road accident statistics on a model-by-model basis).  I put all this information here because perhaps some fluent english speaker would like to integrate it into the article. Thanks.   Randroide`
