My first car was a 1986 Renault alliance with a manual 5 speed, crank windows, and no radio. It was given to me by my father after he put 120k miles on it. I went on to put another 130k on it. I learned to drive stick on that car. 250 thousand miles and I never had to change the clutch. I don't know what it was made out of but it was indestructible. I had to change the clutch cable 6 times, but despite being the vehicle what I learned to drive stick on, it was indestructible. It also got 45+ miles per gallon it's whole life. When it finally died, it blew a piston out the side of the motor. It was ugly and uncomfortable but I loved that little car and I would absolutely buy another 1986 Renault alliance. I would also take the x8a prototype as my daily driver but I doubt the clutch is quite as bulletproof.
