2001 Renault Clio Sport 172 review from UK and Ireland
"This ain't no French Snail!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alarm immobiliser failed and I couldn't start the car and had to call the AA out, apparently a problem with the circuits in the key fob.
I keep breaking the front windshield.
Runs out of fuel quickly on full chat ;-)
General comments?
This is a trully amazing car.
I have had the car since the 17th October 2001 and have not, not thought about it every day. I love to drive it hard, because every gear seems to want to pull as much as the previous, and the induction noise is lovely too.
Handling is also good, although in the wet, you have to have your wits about you on those lift-off oversteer moments 'what would Tiff do?' has been utterred many a time!
16 valve slaaaaaayer!!! (sorry)
