1999 Renault Clio Si review from UK and Ireland

Nothing has gone wrong with the car, although there are a couple of "quirks". Gear change is fairly poor, sometimes I have difficulty getting the car into 1st gear. Also the car windows tend to steam up fairly easily on cold or damp days for no apparent reason. Maybe poor ventilation? The car heater is not set to the re-circulate setting so that can't be the reason for the steamy windows. The Renault dealer couldn't find any problems - but I knew that they wouldn't. Too much hassle for them.

As for putting don't know for the "Would you buy another car from this manufacturer?" question. I would probably buy a used Renault if I were to buy another. Never again will I buy a brand new Renault though. The model that I purchased has changed, specification wise twice in a year that I have had the Clio. I can accept minor changes - but these were fairly major items like double optic headlamps (which I have now fitted myself), standard alloy wheels, standard cd player, rear spoiler and even a new 16v engine.
