1994 Renault Clio 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Good when it's going!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a nightmare. The exhaust was blowing, the ECU packed up, a head gasket blew, the head warped, the driveshaft boot leaked, the clutch slipped, and the gearbox seized up.
I've also had 4 new engine mounts, 4 wheel bearings, and a new alternator. This car has cost me thousands.
General comments?
The car handles very well and completely out performs 205's, GTE's, SRi's etc. The car goes very well now and looks awesome - mines got 17s, seriously low, chipped, filtered and exhaust, but it can't handle being abused and will drop to bits.
