1996 Renault Clio RT review from UK and Ireland
"Great runner in a smart looking package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wheel bearing and alternator went this year, but apart from service stuff, this car has been a gem.
Strange leak from around the interior light console.
My son had a 1.2 and the difference is immense. The RT 1.4 is a much more sure-footed animal.
I am thinking of putting it on blocks and re-furbing it over the winter.
General comments?
Lovely driver, wider tyres make a big difference to performance.
Fuel consumption is poor around town, but OK on the open road.
A bit ordinary inside.
