Renault Clio 182 Sport with endless faults

Renault Clio and dealership problems

A trip to the renault dealership every month

Yes, that's right, my Renault Clio has been back to the dealership almost once a month for 3 years! I am currently awaiting their answer on 2 outstanding warranty repairs.



I stretched my personal finances to buy a Renault Clio 182 Sport from a main dealership in Worcester. It was my belief that a new car with a warranty would give me hassle-free motoring for at least three years.

08-10-2007Congratulations Rod, for having a Renault that works. Would you like a badge?

If you go into the dealership with a blazing attitude, expec...morerod
05-10-2007From my experience.... I could not agree more - but the problem is not confined to Clio's or the Worcester area! I live in Kent, and have vowed never to buy another f*@!ing Renault car ever again!! I have owned Fords, Vauxhalls and Rovers over the years (and one Renault). I have never owned ...moreAndy
