2001 Renault Clio Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"Looks great, bit of a womans car tho"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before I even had the car delivered to the UK it was held up in the French port and had a new breaking computer fitted! the car did arrive, but it was a couple of weeks late.
Problem with passenger door lock, new central locking "thing" fitted after 1 month. After Renault had fitted this they broke the plastic clips holding the interior door panel in place, once replace they still squeak now!
Car sometimes stalls for no reason, usually after breaking hard to a stand still when engine is cold! (very rarely)
Odyssey blue paintwork scratched very easily leaving a white undercoat exposed.
Car feels a bit light, one gust of wind and I think she would fly away!
General comments?
Other than the faults above this car has been a great motor even on long journeys, and I have recently purchased a Clio 172cup to be delivered next month, not all the dealers were great tho, the franchise dealers seemed to offer bigger discounts and better service.
Free insurance was a godsend saved me a packet! Renault insure gave me 4yrs no claims when I came to re-insure with them, which was nice!
