"A nice run-around when it works"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Washer jets front and back broken since had the car.

Drivers side electric window regulator went at 29,000 miles, very very costly 250 from Renault! Managed to get the part on-line for £60.

Wheel bearing went at 30,000 miles, about £90 to fix.

Exhaust fell off at current mileage.

Interior very squeaky.

Sunroof rattles very annoying on long journeys.

Poor body work very easily picks up dents and scratches from other people in car parks.

General comments?

Apart from the poor build quality I do like the car, It defiantly goes and does so very comfortably.

The seats are very good offering much support. It may take a while for tall men to obtain a comfortable position, but once you get it you can sit for a long while comfortably.

Gear box can be a bit stiff at certain times, but generally nice to use.

A nice looking car and my classmates certainly were impressed.

Tire's arnt the best, but cheap to replace.

Stereo very good even if it is a tape player. 6 Speakers off good sound at all frequencies and volumes.

Well another thing has gone on the car since I posted this, a cable inside the door must of gone that connected the inside door handle to the lock mechanism, and I can't open the door from the inside, I have to wind down the window and open it from the outside! Never trust a Renault!

I agree on the build quality. Wait till you get an electrical fault, like I just have. Wouldn't touch another Clio with a bargepole!!!
