1995 Renault Clio RT review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent First Car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car and I needed to change the cam belt when I put it in for an MOT. That's all really, there have been no other faults.
General comments?
I was at school in sixth form when I found an advert in our common room which showed that a red Clio was on for sale for £125. As anyone else would think... its probably a very bad car! At the time I has just started my driving lessons and I needed a car so I thought I would check it out. I turned out to be a really good car. The car was being sold by my teacher, a woman so there was virtually nothing wrong with it as she had been a careful driver. It was so cheap because one of the locks was broken (fixed by my friends dad very easily) and the MOT and road Tax were both due.
My Clio is a 1.4 and pumps out around 80 BHP, it also has electric windows and central locking. It's a very reliable car as since I've got it all I needed to do was to replace the cam belt. It has a very responsive engine and I don't think I could have possibly got a better car for 125 pounds in this life time. I've read all the other reviews on Clios and I'm pleased to say all my electrics still work perfectly :D. I have recently installed a CD player and a sub woofer into my Clio, also some 16 inch fox racing alloys which make it look very sporty. So far my Clio has been very reliable and I want to keep it for as long I can.
