General Comments:

Once full service had been done car seems to be fine

Had to get new wheels because the 3 spokes looked rubbish so a got rt wheels for £15 looks so much better.

Put extra head rests in the back when a replaced the front seats.

Car look s quite good inside and out when washed and polished good 1st car all round

Cheap and economical.

Faults:

Oil leak at 69000.

Problem with pistons at about 70000 (which was fixed)

Exhaust was blown when I got the car.

Brakes had started to squeak in the last few months.

General Comments:

I bought the car for £600 at an auction in Glasgow for my first car. There were a few little problems at the start that got fixed, but it was half-expected as it was an old car. it has cost me a fair amount to fix, but it is a fun and comfortable car to drive.

However, though the Clio was a good car, the time had come where I had to move on and find myself something a bit more modern, safer and reliable (I have written a review on my new Fiesta).

As a first car or to be used as a little runaround, I would highly recommend it.

Faults:

Wheel bearing at 80,000.

Poor quality of seats.

General Comments:

This car is a good quality wee car with very little faults.

I would buy this car again, reguardless of it being 9 years old, but unfortunitly I crashed it.

It is a quick wee car, and very economical and handles very well.

Faults:

I have problems sometimes with the immobiliser it seems to go of then the car won't start for a few minutes.

The seats have worn quite a lot on the sides nearest the doors.

General Comments:

It`s very comfortable to drive especially on long distances.

It has lots of power when it`s needed and is very easy to manouvre.

Faults:

Nothing so far, just vandalism. Passenger door lock has had to be glued back into place (looks slightly off, but still works; much cheaper than replacement at £150 with a different key)

General Comments:

Brilliant little car around town, if you can find one that has been well maintained. The model does suffer from reliability issues, but if you are looking for a 90s model, those left are now either obviously on their last legs or look half-decent. Mostly owned by women (make of that what you will, but tend to have not been driven into the ground) so some weird colours and dodgy special editions out there. I've only given it a 6 for performance, based on the fact it screams above 70mph or 4000 revs, so is useless on motorways. It would benefit from a sixth gear really, all the gears are too low. I'm usually in 4th as soon as I hit 30mph. Overall, a neat, comfortable and nippy town/medium distance car.

Faults:

Since Purchase, and only 1000 miles covered. The radiator thermostat has failed.

The Hose between the manifold and the air filter has had to be replaced.

Two rear brake lights. (both on the same side!!!)

And now just to cap it all, the head gasket has blown.

General Comments:

This car is great looking.

The car performs well when it wants to.

Don't use the Sport mode on the automatic gearbox unless you have money to burn, as it eats petrol.
