2000 Renault Clio Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A car owners nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First engine started to rattle and got replaced.
Second engine started to rattle and got replaced.
Third engine started to rattle - in process of deciding what action to take.
Rear window heating bars broke twice.
Brake disks physically stick, making you have to apply many revs to free them. Replaced once, new set are just as bad, but they want to charge me to replace them this time.
Car unlocks itself - has happened many times over the three years. Renault say they cannot find the fault.
Seats wear badly.
General comments?
I have been in continual contact with Renault, trying to get these problems sorted - many of which are still to date outstanding.
Have tried to get a replacement, but they will not play ball.
How can such a large car manufacturer shrug off responsibility in this way.
Seriously consider buying a Renault Clio.
