Faults:

Rumbling sensation goes through the car when you are stationary - dealer can't find fault, but can feel it?!?

Spark plugs faulty - repaired 3 times!! airbag lights keeps coming evry month or two.

General Comments:

Very plasticy dull look inside, not much room unless you sit in the boot and doesn't handle too good round windy roads unless in 2nd gear.

Faults:

My car was bought fron new. after 6 months of ownership (6,000 miles) brokedown with throttle sensor fault.

Plus the ECU had to be replaced.

After one year of ownership car breaks down, this time injection sensor fault.

3 weeks later car breaks down again.

This time the trottle sensor has gone again, and also the oxygen sensor.

General Comments:

Disappointed the car broke down within the first 6 months. took 5 days to be repaired.

Even more disappointed one year later when faults appear again. Unable to drive the car into a safe place as the engine died completely.

Car was towed to the garage. took 5 days to repair. they were unwilling to provide me with a courtesy car.

3 weeks later, the car has broken down once again with the fault mentioned above.

This time a repeat fault was recorded and my car was fixed within 24 hours. The customer service was awful. I had to keep ringing them.

To top it off when I got the car back there was a huge dent in the side of the drivers door. which they denied.

Faults:

My Clio has, unfortunately, high gas consumption. It has a 1.6 liter engine, fairly powerful and fun, but compared to my previous car (which had the same size engine) it's not as fuel efficient.

Floor mat has a hole in it right below the gas pedal.

Rear suspension is rather soft and unstable. I hit a pot hole (something which is pretty common in Peru (and my left rear tire blew causing the car to slide an do a 180º. It could handle better too.

Right front power window stopped working the second week of ownership.

General Comments:

For starters, my Clio was built in Brazil.

It was a pretty good buy overall.

I live in Peru, and new cars are rather expensive, even bare bone models.

Yet the Clio was cheap with a good level of equipment, including two airbags, a Cd player, automatic doors and a couple of little things which would normally jack up the prize in other models.

I don't drive much, but I do like to get away from the grind of the city and it tackles difficult roads with ease. It could use better suspension, but then again the roads don't help.

I have to say that I'm pleased with the car.

The service, although a bit expensive, is very good.

Faults:

Splitter has gone bad and replaced in warranty, speed sensor was replaced in warranty.

General Comments:

Small and handling is great.

Great acceleration and brakes.

Small cabin and not very good seats.
