even the trailer has more towing power than that "thing" in the front. but the good thing is, it'll be much easier going back down the hill, just put the car in neutral and let gravity do the job

they should make a commercial on with this that says....

GOT HORSEPOWER?

Hehe...I almost forgot to mention...it is a French car, after all. What could you have expected

And yes, the Renault was a good rally car, but it's still a shitty consumer car.

For my 1st job I used to drive a renault express van. (an r5 with a box stuck to the back).

One day when it was only a few months old I was happily driving along when the seat started rocking and came loose !

I ended up driving from the rear cargo area !

Yep they are rubbish consumer cars
