Didn't own it, but had one of these godawful things as a company car around 1985. Picked it up brand-new from the dealer, and it started falling apart immediately. The Reliant was very prone to simply dying by the side of the road and having to be towed off. It also suffered from various other sundry problems; there was always something wrong with it at any given time. For quite a while there was an odor of gasoline but when I parked and looked under the hood I never could see anything. Then one day it was particularly strong, I looked while the engine was running only to see gasoline leaking from some kind of gadget near the carburetor all over the hot exhaust manifold!
The only good thing about that situation is that my manager at the time was so appalled he pulled some strings and got me onto the company's "alternate" car plan where they gave me an allowance for my own car each month. I went out and bought a new Saab 900.
