2000 Renault Clio S review from UK and Ireland
"Great little car with a friendly insurance group"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The spring has broken in the ashtray so it won't stay open.
Every time I go through the car-wash the front left sidelight stops working. A little tap and it's all sorted, but a bit irritating.
I have had the same brake light go twice in the last month.
The sunroof rattles and squeaks, but from reading reviews its not just mine.
General comments?
The car is very quick. Its only a 1.4 8 Valve, but on a private test its 0-60 came in at about 9 seconds! I don't speed, but its nice to know its there when pulling back onto the A14 after refuelling.
Looks fantastic, but it's black so it's a real pain to keep clean.
Standard speakers are blaupunkt and really meaty. I bought infinity speakers and too them back because the originals sounded better.
I do about 280 miles a week and it costs roughly £30 on petrol. quite impressed.
