1996 Renault Clio RN review from UK and Ireland
"Cool little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that went wrong when I had it was a worn wheel bearing at about 55,000, but that was probably because of a daily thrashing down the motorway.
General comments?
This was the first car I ever had, it wasn't actually mine, but a company car. It is ideal for a first car, yet also for business use.
Very comfortable, very reliable, excellent car. Sound engine and gearbox.
My only complaint was the speed, or lack of it. I was forever straining to keep up with people from the lights, even if I wasn't racing! And I would have desired that extra bit of overtaking power on the motorway.
I would have it back any day. Will probably end up with one again when I can afford it.
