I agree, Norm. 9/11 refers to a terrorist attack, not a pair of automobiles. People will type in 9/11 to research the former. (And if you use 9/11 to refer to a pair of French automobiles, you start down the slippery slope of "freedom fries." :-O ) Captain Caveman
This article should be split into Renault 9 and Renault 11. Norman Rogers 16:03, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Why does Renault Medallion redirect to this page? Everything I've heard suggests that the Medallion is a rebadged Renault 21, not a 9/11. I'm hesitant to change the redirect myself, as I don't know enough about the Medallion to be sure, so I'm mentioning this here instead of editing it myself. Jgp 09:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I think that the Renault Alliance article should merge with the Renault 9/11 page, considering that the Alliance was a rebadged 9 and the Encore was a rebadged 11, so I do not see the reason why there should be two separate articles on them. Yes, I know, the Alliance was an Americanized Renault, but I think it's not a good excuse for keeping two separate articles on the Alliance and the 9/11. - Daniel Blanchette 16:05, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Anyone have a nice photo of an 11 Turbo they can add? It was quite a nice looking car, especially from the rear - which was the view most other drivers had of mine! ;-) -- kingboyk 22:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I miss my 1986 Renault Alliance (Renault 9). I was able to get excellent fuel economy with it. It was fast off the line but past 30 mph wouldn't be able to keep up. But I was more concerned with operating well in city traffic as opposed to drag racing. I found the car to have a good engine, but bad electrical system and poor plastic parts (levers and knobs would break. I suspect this was the use of plastic which was not adequately resistant to the damage of UV light). However the steel on the car was exceptional. It survived many New England winters which ate up Japanese cars. Long distance driving in the car was more tiring than other cars, I believe this is due to poor aerodynamics at 50+ MPH, and also vibration through the steering column. A spoiler might have been useful. Perhaps if I had used driving gloves I could have solved the vibration problem.
My biggest complaints with the car with the fragility of the suspension. I seemed to be constantly replacing ball joints. Of course, this could be due to the incompetence or corruption of the dealer / repair shop at which I had the car serviced.
If AMC/Renault had fixed a few issues with this car, it could have been a real champion. In spite of my complaints, I still miss the car.
This page has been moved to Renault 9 & 11, per the discussion above. -- SunStar Net talk 13:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
"All the versions R-11 and R-9 manufactured in Argentina, as well as in Colombia and Turkey, they suffered the problem as the material with which the torpedo (iron board) is made is degraded with ultraviolet rays, and ends cracking (especially on the right side, since you don't have the steering column that supports it)."
I'd rewrite the above if only I had the slightest idea what the original author was trying to convey! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.208.39 ( talk) 04:54, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
