Advantages: You can park it on a knife-edge and turn it on a sixpence!

Disadvantages: Major things start to go wrong after the warranty expires

Renault Clio 1.2 16v Extreme 4 05 plate.

I bought my car Nov 05, just as the 55 plates were coming out. The car to be fair has done us well over the last 4 years.

In true fashion, whilst the Warranty was in place, nothing went wrong with the car at all. However, since then a few things have gone wrong which I have learned are apparently common faults with clios. I have had problems with the immobiliser and the electronic ignition sequence.

Now I am also having problems with the fuel pump.

My car has been well looked after, always serviced and MOT'd. In fact, it went through its MOT in July without as much as an Advise, then suddenly its started to fall to pieces......

My car has been good to us in the short term, but there doesnt seem to be any longevity in it, without major expense.

Summary: Great for the short term
