2002 Renault Clio Authentique review from UK and Ireland
"Average"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
QS5 Gearbox fault ongoing, The car has been into my local dealer on numerous occasions without the fault being rectified.
The gearbox warning lamp is intermittently illuminating, when this happens I lose all drive and gear selection abilities.
My local Renault dealer have looked at the car twice and have claimed to have rectified the fault, however the fault constantly reoccurs.
I have once again booked my vehicle in at renault, but no courtesy car is available due to my requirements for an automatic.
Overall I am disapointed with the vehicle, having only traveled 2000 miles I have only managed a few hundred trouble free.
