Faults:
No mechanical breakdowns in 3 years and 40,000 miles. Heavy on tyres - tracking seems a little difficult for garages to get right.
General Comments:
Pleasant runabout but 4 speed gearbox 1.2 isn't particularly suitable for regular commuting along motorways - more of a town car.

General Comments:
A superb, wonderful car that is easy to maintain and make general repairs on. The build quality is of a very high standard. I have now done 80,000 miles since new and the car runs like a dream.
On average it returns between 52-61 mpg. It has large car attributes i.e. comfortable cruiser.
Very good!!!
I would buy another tomorrow.

I totally agree with you, mine is the 93 K diesel Liberte. It is the best car I have owned. But after recently driving a new Laguna, the Power Steering left a lot to be desired. One tip, if you don't already keep checks on the rear wheel cylinders and brake shoes. They're a pain in the backside to fit if they go!

Faults:
Nothing much, the car is pretty new (Under 33K miles).
General Comments:
The car is decent enough, it needs a few modifications to make it look even better, ie 16 inch rims, spoiler, lowered, twin headlight conversion etc.
The car is quite nippy though but a performance exhaust, K&N, and re-tuning makes it challenge ANY 1.4 on the road.
Recommended 2nd car, next, bring on the Williams Phase 3!!!!!!!

Faults:
Not a lot went wrong with this car, although clutch was on the way out at 60K and also the brakes.
General Comments:
Excellent, 1.8 engine powerful enough in this car, cheaper to insure and run than a 16 valve model and just as much fun.
Only downside is Renault only sold the car in 5 door, not 3 door. Renault service could be better and parts a bit cheaper.
Same trim spec as the 1.4RT model with bigger rims.

Overall a good car, which I have fitted with 7"x15" alloys which has hampered the ride somewhat. I think a 16V may be my next move.

General Comments:
Clutch is too sensitive. Difficult to get into second gear at times.
