The Alternator went the day after I bought the car which is apparently a very common fault. Difficult job to do because of the position of the unit under the inlet manifold!
The build quality in general is quite simply...french! The quality is as expected, nothing great, but not terrible by a long way! The car handles brilliantly and sounds great when an induction kit is fitted! The factory body is brilliant as it has the bonnet vent, the wider arches, different bumper and so on. The acceleration surprises most people as they give you the 'hold on, that's a Clio' confused look! The interior is very comfortable as it has the bucket seats as standard, I have the late model so have the slightly larger, more comfortable seats-both have lumbar support as standard I think???Mine has anyway! The wheel arches are well sized so a set of 17 inch wheels fit on straight way, something which is impossible on any of the normal arched Clios! Fantastic little car although expensive for a 19 year old to insure!
To start with you can fit 17inch wheels to any clio, have you heard of clios over heating? I have a 1,6 8v clio 1999.to my astonishment I have to buy a new engine for it as the engine is rubbish. 5 garages have told me changing engines in clios is common. how come I have never seen anything about this.help.
