2002 Renault Clio Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"Get a dynamique!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Service Light came on about 2 months from buying. Took to a dealer. Dash/Computer had to be replaced resulting in the mileage being reset.
CD player rattles when a CD is left in the unit.
Driving to work one day when a service came light on not really knowing why. Then it starts raining. The auto wipers and lights failed so had to find the nearest junction to get off!Mystery fault and its never happened again.
Doors dropped so had to be rehung.
Was on a motorway when the windscreen wipers collided with each other and snapped them both. The bolt on the drivers wiper had come loose and needed to be tightened.
On cold mornings the car shudders as you turn it on and the rev counter moves up and down. This often making the car stall.
General comments?
Apart from the faults I love this car. For the low price you get an immense amount of equipment. My 1.4 Clio Dynamique came with:
Air Conditioning
Electric Windows
Electric Sunroof
Electric/heated Door Mirrors
Remote Central Locking
Alloy Wheels
Automatic Headlights
Automatic Windscreen Wipers
CD Player - excellent speakers & remote on steering wheel
Trip Computer
RAID - doors lock when you start driving -Excellent security feature
Alarm.
All in all you get a lot of car for not much money.
Its reliable, nippy and gets you where you want to go. Its also fun to drive and as well as being comfortable.
Basically the car looks good, drives well, and doesn't cost a lot to run. The perfect car?
