1992 Renault Clio RL review from UK and Ireland
"An Excellent first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Firstly my Exhaust System corroded and fell apart including the Cat Converter within 200 miles of me owning the car.
Secondly, the Brakes have been replaced all round.
Thirdly, Shock Absorbers have been replaced all round.
Finally, the rear light has been faulty.
So I haven't experienced too many problems within the first 4000 miles of ownership.
General comments?
On the whole this car has been a great runner, the problems that I have experienced are really expected with the age of the car.
The car handles well, even when swung into a corner.
This car really doesn't show its age, such a pretty car that was probably ahead of its time in respect of styling.
When buying a similar vehicle, I strongly recommend that a qualified Mechanic inspects the car, if the car has already had money spent on it then such vehicle is a real bargain for any second hand buyer.
