2002 Renault Clio expression plus review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking, stylish and expensive car to maintain for a student!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had to have a new throttle pedal at 67,000 miles. When it happened, the car suddenly lost all power and acceleration, and left me to travel the rest of my journey at 10 mph max, with my hazard lights on.
The sunroof constantly rattles.
The seat back handle on the passenger seat has come off.
Electrical warning light comes on for no reason.
The remote locking recently packed up (even the central locking didn't work). I was told by the Renault dealership that it was not the battery and I needed a new key, which costed me £129.
Other than those points, I have trouble free motoring.
General comments?
I only passed my driving test in April 2005, and this is my first car. It's a very good looking car and is quite economical although slightly underpowered. Choose the 5 door model however if you have frequent passengers (i have the 3 door model)
