Got £8,400 for it! Despite all its sh*tey build quality faults I miss it dearly now compared to my ridiculously slow rental 1.4 Renault megane crapola. Hoping to get the new 1.9 Turbo diesel astra soon as company car: Not too shabby tho I dont think: Maximum power: 150PS (110kW) @...

Having it valeted today, hopefully the cousin is buying it. An Avis "rent a Megane" turned up today for my new job. Surprisingly feels SOOO much better put together than the Clio, its only a 1.4 but the plastics etc are almost German in quality! And I fookin love that key card thing, wow...

Apart from the obvious brilliant drive? or not??, any dodgy knocking, creaking, rattling or general sh*tness going on? Im getting tempted coz of the good reviews. Si.

*Overall* i love my Clio 172. But im fed up with b****cks Renault tacky buzzing build quality, funny knocking noises and rattling exhausts! Im thinking of a new motor this year, and so far can only come up with these choices what you think peeps? - Id get a bloody 182, but i can imagine more...
