2003 Renault Clio Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable Nice Little Car! Paint Sucks Though!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car cut out whilst sitting in neutral gear in traffic. Renault resolved this problem, after stressing there was NO problem.
Sunroof rattles on the lightest bumps making it sound like you are driving an older car.
Now - drastic problems with the paint work which has corroded to the primer due to Bird Droppings, even though the car is well maintained and washed twice a week.
Renault are adamant that this is my problem and not a fault with there paintwork. They also say that this is not covered in there 3 YEAR PAINT Warranty???
General comments?
The Renault Clio was recommended to me and I have been deeply disappointed with the after-sales care from both the Renault Dealership and Renault UK.
Please be warned, paint warranty is just sales talk don't be fooled, you would need a lot of time on your hands to "remove bird droppings from your car in a maximum period of two hours" as we were told by the Dealership and Renault UK.
