Advantages: none

Disadvantages: its rubbish!

I bought a brand spanking new reanult clio in Jan 2007 and (to cut a very long story short) it was rubbish. i bought the 1.4 5 door model in gunmetal grey, and when i first recieved the car i thought it was great, until i tried to put fuel in it. everytime i tried to put petrol in the pump kept clicking off (like when the tank is full). it would take me about 20 minutes to fill the tank. i took the car back to renault and they said there was nothing wrong and to wiggle the pump around next time. i tried this and it didn';t work. so i took the car back again, in total it took 3 trips to renault before they would even look at it, and even then i forced the mechanic to come to the garage with me and try to put it in himself. The nice man at the service centre even asked me if i was sure i was putting the pump in the right hole, so i said "yes, but i'm sure if i tried i could find another hole i could shove it in..." The next thing to happen was a lea, it rained heavily and i came outside to find an inch of water in the back, so i took the car in to renault, that took 3 trips to fix. then my dash lights stopped working, then it wouldn't start, then the brakes played up (and didn't work, sending me straight out across a busy roundabout!), i had problems with the windows, the stereo and even the boot catch. in total the garage had the car 14 times in 6 months, they had the car more than i did! eventually i told them to keep the car. and after much arguing and fighting with renault, and only after i had put the case in court, they agreed to change the car to a megane, which i also hate!
