2002 Renault Clio Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"Very expensive and unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats - after a week the seats came of (runners) went to Renault had them fixed then a week later they came back of also the pull to open the seats forward broke and no-one can get in the back now.
Sun roof - rattles and leaks when it rains/snows
engine management light - comes on, on a regular basis car splutters and cuts out unless you keep the revs up. The car has been in and out of garages on diagnostic machines and I have spent thousands now trying to fix it.
Oil - I need to refill up with oil at least once a month and the car needs serviced on a regular basis.
Starter moter - car only starts when it wants window wipers work the radio works battery is fine, but car still doesn't start only when we push start it
radio - makes a clicking noise when playing CD'S
breaks - constantly need done as well as the hand break keeps sticking on
right hand side wheel - something must be rubbing of it inside keeps blowing out and is constantly black with oil/dust?
General comments?
This car is very quick and fuel cost effective.
However very uncomfortable and very unreliable.
Not practicable for people who rely on a car for daily use.
