1997 Renault Clio zoom review from UK and Ireland
"Great idea pity they didn't train some mechanics!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head Gasket blew on driving home from garage.
Doesn't like going into reserve gear.
Will "bang" between first and second gear when cold.
Cuts out constantly on idle.
Sunroof has leaked since first day.
General comments?
I still have two years left on the finance, but I am handing this car back next week!
I cannot trust it anymore because of the fact it cuts out whenever it goes into neutral. I have had this car seen by at least seven separate mechanics and nobody can find out whats wrong!
