"A good first, car, but costly if anything fails"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought the car with 11 months left on the MOT.

Within a few weeks the clutch has almost completely failed, I caught this just in time before it messed up my gearbox, very costly.

Can't really comment on performance/reliability as with a bust clutch, I am using so much petrol it's stupid, so the car is spending considerable time outside the house.

Although before the clutch failed and I was able to drive it, I found it to be an easy car to drive that picked up quite well, as long as the engine had warmed up. Cold mornings give a problem with acceleration for a good mile or two.

General comments?

The car is comfortable inside and quite spacious.

Although being 13 years old it's pretty basic, the seats are starting to get a bit uncomfortable.

Also there is no rev counter, engine temp gauge and the heaters take a while to warm up.

Hi. I'm from Israel and have the same car 13 years.

So if you have problems with the chair you can buy a pillow or the back of chair or simply take another chair from used car or car that have been after accident. enjoy!!!

My petrol consumption is 1 to 10.5 on average.

I bought a Night and Day Clio in 2002, it was my first car and I love it! So much so, that I bought another Clio Night and Day, I wouldn't be without the two of them.

I have modified my first Night and Day, body kit, tints, you name it, she has it. I'm away to put bucket seats into her. I'll be honest, I did take the original Night and Day seats out, and put in 1.4 RT ones, as they are better.

My second Night and Day, it driving so well, I haven't got a problem with her, but I was involved in an accident in March, so the insurance might take her off me, but I'm on the look out for another one, So if you no of any for sale, then email me on.

The 1.1 engines are great, but you have to remember to use the choke first thing in the morning.
