[net.auto] INfo wanted on Renault 18i

pal (04/15/83)

A friend is contemplating buying a car.  The two choices he has pretty much
narrowed down to are:
	Honda Accord Sedan
	Renault 18i

The (subjective) evaluation of the 18i is that it is a better handling car
than the Accord, but he is worried about reliability and so on.
Does anybody have any info/opinions on the car?
He would prefer comments from owners (current or previous) giving actual
experience, but failing that passing impressions and even third-hand
rumours are welcome, but please qualify them appropriately.

Thanks in advance, as always!!
I will forward responses if requested, or post if I get a lot of requests.
