Yes i said whos had one, as i want opinions from people who have owned one please.

I know what to expect performance wise but what are they like for reliability?

 

Expensive job huh

EDIT the one i was looking at says cambelt changed

 

700 for a cambelt

they ok, the front suspension just sits in the shocks, very weird design

very good on fuel

quiet engines

i find the engine lazy compared to my gti6

 

700 for a cambelt????? ive just paid 248 for mine be done! not bad little cars tbh!

 

i not paid that..lol

thats what the local renault dealer wants for cambelt and aux belt change

 

Not bad little cars tbh? wow nice review chap

Any more hints, like reliability?

 

lol

i have a NON fly by wire throttle, which as supposed to be less hassle?

um, well i have put a new throttle cabe, new throttle body, now it idles fine

the car it self is fine, usuall crap frency build quality, but feels nice, i drive it every day

handles very well, brakes are super sharp,

plastic front wings, alloy bonnet as std (not all have alloy bonnet)

no rust as far as i've seen

shift light too...lol (not on everycar)

i have an x reg one

later ones have cruise, climate and other toys like auto matic lights and wipers

 

lots of lights keep coming up on dash!!!abs sensors,driveshafts,fast though

 

Spiky i didnt know you owned a 172 aswell

This one im looking at is on a W so what stuff would that have?

Plus is there any difference between a "sport 2.0 16v" and a "172" or are they both the same thing?

 

my old 1


It was great fun to drive an i really enjoyed it although i had a fair few problems with it , i had the cambelt done along with a small service this set me back Ł480 this was from a Renaults specialist ! Renault them selves wanted something in the region of Ł700 all in... I expected that to be the end of spending out on the car then the heater system broke an would only blow cold air no hot , The following week the engine started to tap quite heavily once warm, I found out this was a known problem with the cars an this was the breaking point for me an i had to let it go as i really didnt want to plough any more money into it...

I used to go on http://www.cliosport.net/forum/index.php theres quite alot of info to be found in there...

 

cheers rossco for the info

 

they are named the renault sport i.e. RS

but people cal them the 172

yeah i got one, had a it few months now

the cliosport forum is very good for info

not sure yours will have an alloy bonnet or shift light, but will be the same as mine, with half leather a/c 15" rims and so on

driving back from oxford it was doing 40MPG, oner ever got it to do that once...lol but easy driving averages 35mpg, i'm averageing 32-33

 

Cool thanks for the info, i know nothing about clios, only that they go well

So yours is the same shaped front as the pic ross posted? the one im looking at is different, still looks fine though.

 

no, thats a mk2 ph2

mine is a mk2 ph1



here is a pic

 

Identical to the one i got my eye on, same colour aswell

Thanks for the replys people
