Advantages: Cheap runner

Disadvantages: very slow, poor quality

This is my current and second car. The first car I drove after passing my test was an 03 Audi A3 which belonged to my father, it was a beautuful car but nothing but expensive problems. After the final straw, and an argument with my father I went out and bought the first car I could. I used all of my money to buy a Renault Clio 03 1.2 Dynamique. I dont know whether its because I drove an Audi Sport or just becausem but I cant say that I am very impressed. Although the car is the same age as the Audi, the underneath of the seats, the metal is rusty, the engine looks rusty, and if I knock a wire under the seat the airbag light comes on.
Good points however are that its quite a smooth little runner, a nice first car, low insurance and its quite cheap to run, both on tax and fuel. The engine size is both a blessing and a curse. Its low so it causes low insurance however its so low, I put my foot down and nothing happened.
Although its a small car, its does have a sizeable boot and rear.
Overall a nice 'first car' and cheap 'run-around'.

Summary: ok little car
