[paul]

should i buy one?

30 pounds road tax 70mpg...

 

[Sam]

If you find one cheap enough and decent service and wouldn't say no.

I've always wanted to get one for a run about but couldn't afford two insurance policies.

 

[daydotz]

Great cars ours is 5 years old hasn't missed a beat

Mpg 55-59

As said get one with plenty of history

 

[NickMelson]

Or a dCi80 £20 tax a year and get it mapped. 115bhp and 200lbft and stll getting 50/60 mpg

 

[Martin_172]

lol u wont get 200lbft from a dci80! more like 170lbft

id buy an 86, they are awesome cars!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

200lbft is achevable tbf. but dci 80 ftw or a dci 100 if you can find one

 

[Martin_172]

you wont get 200lbft from a remap on a dci80, not a chance, clutch wont take it either!

 

[NickMelson]

Well 114.2 bhp and 197lbft

I assume you mean the 86bhp Mk3?

I've had mine nearly 8 weeks now and I love it. Economy is awesome. I drive pretty much under 2500rpm, and I'm getting 60mpg according to the onboard computer. Not sure how correct that is, but I'm on course for a 780 mile tank if the range is to be believed.
Think you'd struggle to get 70mpg to be honest!

I came from a Vectra, and the build quality is better on the Renault. Handles a damned sight better too! £30 a year tax, cheap insurance, and does over double the mileage of my old V6 Vectra. Brilliant buy.
Torquey little thing too.

Ive had 2 dci 86 clios now, good cars, mpg wise 50 -55 around town, 60 on a run.

Our current dci 86 is on 102k, drives like new.

Get a dci86 I had one for three years and it was brilliant, great little car great on fuel and pulled well comfortable cruiser on the motorways, sold mine with 50k on the clock and not a thing went wrong with it, I only upgraded as the GT was a steal for the spec it came with

and dont eat oil

 

[sbridgey]

Mother has one, excellent little car and is ridiculously good on fuel. Buy one.

 

[JP83]

and dont eat oil

Like it's going out fashion!

I do like the fact you can check your oil level from your onboard computer when you get in and first turn on the ignition.

 

[paul]

that sounds like it might be a good investment

 

[paul]

was thinking a black one with black wheels. might look ok
