Renault Clio III 1.6A - any interest?

[Jetabout777]

Well.. Same here for me. I tested both Clio and i30 on the same day.

 

Clio was disappointing. Horrible interior with very cheap plastics. Stereo system interface still the '90s model type and gear stick super long. Bonnet even got jammed while attempting to open it. SE had no idea why and was still standing around looking confused.

 

i30 was a good effort by Hyundai. Very good suspension and handling for a Hyundai I must say. Only thing that pissed me was that the 'Sports Model?' was fitted with fake Rays G-games 17" rims (similar to Toyota Camry 2.4 model).

while i'm not a huge fan of the automatic 1.6 clio, i have to say that the interior is a BIG change from the previous model clio. Remember the clio campus? now that was a terrible renault worth forgetting. like all french cars, it sure could turn a corner..haha

Just asking for advice...

 

Will this 2009 Renault Clio be a decent purchase?

Or is it better to get Japanese models for 7+ years car?

Try to nego no more than 7.5k/yr.

 

PSA cars spare parts are much cheaper compared to Renault in general.

Whoa...this model is hardly seen on the roads. Rarer dan a Supercar.

 

But honestly unless you know ppl who know how to troubleshoot/repair such cars dan you buy. For me I wouldn't buy any French car that's more dan 3 years old.

ermm, if I may..

 

actually this clio engine is pretty reliable..

I got the first or second version, the one with D4F.

 

pretty decent, served me well and going good.
