anyone drive a Clio? doing my daily scan of cars and seen one on a 51 plate that I quite like. Not the kind of car I go for normally (I like mid sized coupe cars) but it's the nicest small car I've seen so far. Sick of seeing huge old Mercs/BMW's/Volvo/Jags :rolleyes: I would have to probably go back into debt though the amount dependent on the offer, but possibly about £1200 or so.

I did have a clio many years ago BB, and an older model. Have to say It was very light to drive and a bit tinny, not much substence. But of course that might not be the case on this one you are looking at. It was pretty reliable TBH

BB,
Try that Honest Johns website (think that's what it is called?) and put the type of car/reg into it and it tells you what the common problems are etc.

I like Clios personally but not heard great things about Renaults.

I'd have one though! lol

i have a Skoda Fabia - 53 plate, since new and it's only gone wrong once - some valves went and it cost me £100.

hmmmmmmm...........just looked up the review on the Honest John site.....think I'll steer clear, particularly as it's automatic - it's not a good read! Back to the drawing board.

this is the exact car I want - and within a couple of miles of my house

I've loved this model since I used to see one park opposite my old house regularly many years ago. I bought the previous model with my ex (same colour). It's a big engine and a big car, so a stupid choice, but is exactly what I want. If I got it(say) for £2,300 or so, I'd have to put 2k to it (depending on the insurance offer) so a lot to invest in a car with a really reliable engine but would eat petrol for dinner on the tiny journeys I do.

Not quite sure what it would say about me as the projection of my personality! :rotfl:

So Ms Snaggles just WHAT exactly happened in the car park ? :rolleyes:

:rotfl:

Well, we hugged, I handed him his present, he opened the back door of the car and had a chat to the kids, we chatted, we hugged again, then I told him to go back inside because it was freezing, and I would see him soon.

See - I CAN behave!
