1996 Renault Clio 16V review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance, high insurance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At around 50,000 miles I had new disc's and pad's all round.
Hand brake cable went at around the same time.
Rocco cover cracked which cost £10 to fix.
General comments?
This car gets through brake disc's and tyres like there's no tomorrow.
The car doesn't like being driven at low RPM which is terrible when driving slow, and also the clutch is very heavy which is also a pain in slow moving traffic.
