You changing again, Viv??
When I bought my 182 neither dealer had a brochure or anything for me to look at, all they could show me was the Renault website!

No way will I buy another Renault from a main dealer, because I’m so tired of arguing with them over warranty issues, it’s a shame as the car’s great when not at the dealers (in again today for the 3rd time in 6 weeks for the same prob!) the final straw was when they called me ‘not loyal’ FFS, me and my family have bought 6 Renaults between us in the last 4 years on my recommendation!
Never again….I just wanted to see the 197!

Typical Renault dealers for you... what's the problem been with it? I'm going to have a look at the 197 tomorrow!
It’s the traction control/service light on all the time, and sometimes I’ll be driving along and the traction control kicks in for no reason.
They’ve adjusted the brake pedal sensor twice, I thought it best to point out that it might be something else causing the problem, fingers crossed that they will sort it today; in the mean-time I have a red 1.2.
Get a pic of the 197 so I can pass it on to them!

Clio 1.6 16v Dynamique +
Good lord, of course the 197 will be available in the UK. Is the guy totally of his rocker or something? The sports Clio (whichever model) is extremely popular, there is absolutely no way that Renault will not be selling them. That would be cutting their noses off to spite their faces.
I have however had a similar problem when enquiring about the new 1.6 Dynaimque S. I was told the 1.2, 1.4 and the 1.6 auto will be the most popular so they didn't intend to even get the new 1.6 in for demonstration purposes. I also enquired at another Renault dealer at Guildford and got told the same thing. It is no wonder some models are considered rare as getting to see some of them is darn near impossible.
Good luck with locating one and getting a test drive.

106 GTi

There is always the 1% LOL
But that said, when I ordered my 182 the 1st salesman knew nothing about the car. The 2nd and guy who dealt with the whole order/buying process from deposit to collection however knew everything about the car. Excetion to the rule though in most cases.
When I went in for info about the Trophy, I ended up telling them about it.
Best yet the salesman at Peugeot yesterday at the 207 launch that did not even know what a 205 GTi was, despite having one in front of them on loan in the showroom.
I rest my case
But I will correct my statement to 75% of car salesman know f*ck all about there ranges, brand or heritige if thats better for you?
Clio 197
Renault dealers are mostly ****s in my experience.
I've got over it; I know what to expect now.
