1993 Renault Clio Reviews - Page 6 of 8

All 4 discs had to be replaced.

Aerial seal leaking causing water to pour into the car when going round corners (thought this might have been the sunroof).

Alternator packed up at 70K miles (had to get it reconditioned due to cost).

Quick wee car especially when fitted with a K&N induction kit and a magnex exhaust (absolutely destroys Golf GTi's and the like).

Corners OK, but the suspension could/should be better.

Pick-up on motorways is most impressive, overtaking is fuss free, and the RSi will sit at 100mph+ without pushing the car too much (although this will eat the petrol in no time!!!)

Overall, a fun car to drive with the added bonus of the insurance not being crippling.

I have not had any problems. But the previous owner had lots of problems with the sunroof LEAKING, he spent a total of £500 on fixing it. He had all the history of the car and that seems about the only problem.

This car is great fun to drive, brings a BIG SMILE to my face every time I drop it down a gear and boot it. I will be doing a few modifications soon, but it's not cheap? K/N filter (£80.00), but the extra bhp could be fun!

Wheel bearings (3 times).

Front discs replaced (4 times).

Gear box bearings at 42000 miles.

Distributor cap cracked at 48000 miles.

Alternator blew up killing the battery 52000 miles.

Clutch cable snapped at 32000 miles.

Sun roof leaked + jammed open (electrics corroded).

As you see above, a few problems!

Thing is, I still love it.

Looks good, handles good, goes good.

The most fun car I have owned.

Be prepared to pay high servicing and repair costs.

The driving position will not suit all, especially 6 footers (height not feet!)

Sun roof leak.

Track rod ends.

Top suspension mounts shot.

Pleased with the car for the 22 months that I owned it.

I found it very reliable and a pleasing car to drive, with high 30's MPG and comfort and performance. The addition of a low group 5 insurance was also a bonus.

The equipment spec on the RT is excellent for such a small car and outshines its rivals in terms of equipment and comfort.

The driving experience is also very pleasurable with 80 bhp on tap it keeps things cooking nicely and allows comfortable cruising. It is quite a bit more sprightly than other 1400cc cars in its class.

First things I had to change when I got the car were the brake pads as they were worn right down to the metal.

A hundred miles later I was going through too much petrol and had to get the engine krypton tuned and air filter replaced.

New exhaust 8000 miles later.

Wheel bearing replaced a few hundred miles ago and new strut and spring.

There was water leaking in the sunroof and doors after my car was broken into and the thieves stole my sound system.

Next for the Clio is a K&N air filter and lowering the suspension to improve the road holding.

Max Speed: 110.

The car is very fast for a 1400cc.
