2003 Renault Clio Dynamique Billabong review from UK and Ireland
"A good but flawed car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty suspension strut on the left side, rattling sunroof & brake discs warped.
General comments?
I bought the car about a year ago & have found it to be a lovely little car. It goes well around town and on the motorway.
The fuel ecconomy is OK, nothing to write home about, usually get about 38mpg, rarely get 48mpg, that's with carefull driving.
The AC is nothing amazing & the sunroof rattles like hell.
The rain sensor is not brilliant at picking up rain on the screen.
I had the front suspension strut, brake discs & pads changed with my private mechanic & saved £200 compared to my local Renault dealer.
Besides all the problems, I like the car.
Does any one think that the windscreen wiper set up is bad?
