Renault 5
The Renault 5 is a four passenger, three or five-door, front-engine, front wheel drive hatchback supermini manufactured and marketed by Renault over two generations 1972–1985 (also called R5) and 1984–1996 (also called Super 5 or Supercinq). The R5 was marketed in the US as Le Car, from 1976 to 1983. The R5 spawned the Renault 7, a four door sedan variant manufactured from 1974 to 1984 in Spain by Renault's subsidiary FASA-Renault and exported in limited markets.
The Renault 5 Alpine Turbo was launched in 1982 as an upgraded successor to the naturally aspirated Alpine. In Britain, the car was still called Gordini rather than Alpine. Motor magazine undertook a road test of the Turbo in 1982 and while they appreciated the performance (top speed 179.9 km/h (111.8 mph), 0 to 97 kilometres per hour (0 to 60 mph) in 8.7 seconds), they were critical of its high price as it was £2 more than the larger Ford Escort XR3.
The Renault 5 Turbo should not be confused with the Alpine Turbo or GT Turbo as it was radically modified by mounting a turbocharged engine behind the driver in what is normally the passenger compartment, creating a mid-engined hot hatch and rally car. It was also driven by the rear wheels rather than the front wheels. The Renault 5 Turbo was made in many guises, eventually culminating with the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo. It was very successful in racing and rallying and is regarded as one of the greatest hot hatches of all time.
To sum it up it was a fab french hatch.

Renault Laguna
The Renault Laguna, also known as the "Leaky Lagoon," was a car that was not only great at getting wet, but also great at wetting the ladies. With its sleek and stylish design, the Laguna was a real head-turner on the road. It's spacious interior and advanced technology made it the perfect car for impressing potential dates. Whether it was a romantic night out or a weekend getaway, the Laguna always had a way of making its passengers feel special. So, if you're looking for a car that's not only reliable but also a real ladies' man, the Renault Laguna is the car for you.
Example:
Mike: Damn is his suspension broken?
John: Nah, his Renault Laguna is slammed because it's full of ladies.

Renault Clio
A car from the Renault manufacturer. Usually driven by middle class Brits who think that Theresa May is good for the country.
Example:
Did you see Olly bought a Renault Clio?
Yes, hope he falls off a cliff into a dark abyss where he is eaten by Satan.

Renault 10
A French car not dissimilar to Dr Seuss's "Push me, pull you" animal. Looks as if it is capable of it's top speed in both directions. Has confused many owners of where the engine is located when trying to perform basic vehicle checks.
Example:
"Gee, the other day I accidently got in to drive my Renault 10 from the back seat" and when ordering spare parts "Not the head light tail lights, but the tail light head lights"

Renault Twingo
It might not be that fast, reliable, or practical, but it's got a face of gold and enough charm to warm the sun.
