1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Renault 9 offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Renault 9 at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

The Renault 9 and Renault 11 were two small family cars produced by the France manufacturer Renault between 1981 and 1988.

Overview The Renault 9 was a four-door sedan, launched in 1981. The Renault 11 was a three- or five-door hatchback, which followed in late 1983.

A version of the 9 was produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) in the United States, where it was known as the Renault Alliance (although it also bore a discreet AMC badge on its rear window). As well as the four-door model, AMC offered an Alliance with an American designed two-door saloon body (which had higher proportioned rear wheel arches than the 4-door), and from 1984, a convertible version. There were plans for a station wagon of the Alliance, although they did not materialize.

The Renault 9 was awarded the 1982 European Car of the Year, while the Alliance appeared on Car and Driver's Car and Driver Ten Best for 1983, and was the 1983 Motor Trend Car of the Year.

Although the 9 and 11 cars had different names and body styles, they were in fact identical under the skin, and were intended to jointly replace the older Renault 14. The 11 was also distinguishable from the 9 by its front end, which featured square twin headlights, which had been introduced on the Alliance in North America. The 9 also received this new front end in 1985 and both models were face-lifted for a final time with matching nose and interior upgrades for the 1987 model year.



Engines Both cars used Renault's ageing C-type overhead valve internal combustion engine in 1.1  or 1.4 litre format, and a basic suspension design which won few plaudits for the driving experience. The exceptions were the 9 Turbo and the 11 Turbo hot hatch, which used the turbocharger engine from the Renault 5. Although the cars were heavier than the Renault 5, the power from the engine was enough to ensure higher performance, thanks to its 115 hp DIN (85 kW).

The newer F-type engine which had been developed in collaboration with Volvo Cars appeared in later years in 1.7 L guise, powering the upmarket GTX, TXE and Electronic (Electronique in France) versions. The Alliance and Encore, while comparatively underpowered, had a definite advantage in ride and handling against other small cars available in America at the time and even had their own SCCA spec-racing series, the Alliance Cup.

Versions In Europe, the Renault 9 was available in the following versions:

• C, 1.1-litre 4-cylinder
• TC, 1.1-litre 4-cylinder, 1.4-litre 4-cylinder
• TL, 1.1-litre, 4-cylinder, 1.4-litre 4-cylinder, 1.6 diesel
• TR 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder
• TS 1.4-litre 4-cylinder
• TX 1.7-litre, 4-cylinder
• TXE 1.7-litre 4-cylinder
• GTX 1.7-litre 4-cylinder
• Diesel, 1.6-litre 4-cylinder

In Europe, the Renault 11 was available in the following versions:

• C, 1.1-litre 4-cylinder producing 47 BHP
• TC, 1.1-litre 4-cylinder (producing 47 BHP), later 1.2 litre 4-cylinder (producing 55 BHP)
• GTC, 1.1-litre 4-cylinder (producing 47 BHP), later 1.2 litre 4-cylinder (producing 55 BHP)
• TL, 1.4-litre 4-cylinder producing 60 BHP, 68 BHP from 1985
• GTL, 1.4-litre 4-cylinder producing 60 BHP, 68 BHP from 1985
• TD, 1.6-diesel 4-cylinder (producing 55 BHP)
• TR 1.2-litre 4-cylinder, 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder (55 BHP/60 BHP respectively)
• TS 1.4-litre 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 72 BHP
• GTS 1.4-litre 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 72 BHP
• TSE 1.4-litre 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 72 BHP
• TX 1.7-litre, 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 82 BHP
• GTX 1.7-litre, 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 82 BHP
• TXE 1.7-litre 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 82 BHP
• Electronic 1.7-litre 4-cylinder, twin choke carb producing 82 BHP
• Diesel, 1.6-litre 4-cylinder, producing 55 BHP
• Automatic, 1.4-litre 4-cylinder with a special lower torque version of the GTL engine producing 68 BHP.
• Turbo, 1.4-litre 4-cylinder, single choke carb with turbo charger producing 105, later 115 BHP.

4 speed manual gearboxes were standard on lower specification models (C,TC,TL,TR). 5 speed gearboxes were optional on most of these models and standard on all others. The automatic version featured special trim and a 3 speed, fully computer controlled automatic gearbox. The engine coupled to the automatic was a special high torque version of the 1397cc cleon unit fitted to GTL and GTS models.

Last years The Alliance and Encore (renamed the Alliance Hatchback from 1986 onwards) were dropped after Chrysler's buyout of AMC in 1987. The Alliance did get one last hurrah in the American marketplace in 1987 with the one-year-only GTA coupé and convertible. These had a higher-performance 2.0 L engine, sport suspension, an aerodynamic body kit, Ronal wheels, and other "sporting" upgrades. Made in limited quantities, the GTA is something of a collector's item today. The failure of the Renault management to recognize the North American demand for more powerful engines earlier on in the Alliance's run is considered one of the contributing factors to American Motors' downfall.

The Renault 9 and 11 continued in production until 1988, when it was replaced in Europe by the Renault 19.

Film and TV appearances A blue Renault 11 TXE was shown in the 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill, where Bond (played for the final time by Roger Moore) steals a Renault 11 taxi from a Paris cab driver and uses it to pursue an assassin (portrayed by Grace Jones). In a sequence coordinated by famed French stunt coordinator Rémy Julienne, the car has its roof torn off in the resulting car chase, and is then chopped in half in a collision with a Renault 20/30.
