1990 Renault Clio RT 1.4 petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Only good for recycling into beer cans!

Faults:

Clutch, brakes, leaking sunroof, non-functioning electric windows, non-functioning central locking, shock absorbers, oil leaks, some rust, etc, etc. At least the engine still works...

General Comments:

Looks good, but reliability is woeful and main dealer service is absolutely appalling. Things have now settled down after much work (by an independent garage at half the price) but the car still suffers from electrical gremlins. Prices now low, and my car is now very old, but if you value reliability - buy ANYTHING else!!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
