Clio - what irritates you the most

[McBunny]

what gets on my nerves most is the clios bloody owners club lol

 

[unofficialPete]

having a phase3!

 

[Clio1400]

The relay clicks are really annoying. Erm, what else? Its a bit jerky when cold, no matter how gentle I am with the clutch, and the fact that you have to be at a standstill to put it in 1st, whereas other cars I drive will go into 1st at about <5mph, which makes life a lot easier sometimes.

No rattles or squeaks on mine, the sunroof is silent (electric)

Generally I am more than happy, but Id like more power....!

[Viv172]

Headlight washer balls...say no more

and the lack of a heated front windscreen

 

[wonders]

The threat of my back arches bubbling and my inability to get any power down when its even slighty damp,oh yeah ditto on the rattles!

 

[Lewy.Lewis]

The service bill.......£350 for a service.........Thats without the effing plugs!

 

[Chris]

Nothing is ever easy to change or fit!

Lack of the number 6 on my gearnob

and the turning circle!!

oh and why are the relays so loud!

apart from that its great. (could do with a 3.7l v6 tho)

That about sums it up for me too.. added to that a few rattles.. and a whistling noise at m/way speeds..

 

[matt the cat]

....and that thiery(?) geezer bangin on about va va bleedin voom, maggot!

 

[kwingy1]

Rattling, electrical faults, easy to dent and trying to modify it without hassle!

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Moaning owners! They do my head in.

I got this rattle, I got this knock.....AAAHHGGG Its a Reno what you expect!

Not really....LOL

Banging on acceleration and knocking on turning thats what bugs me with mine but sorted that today

 

[Lunner]

Teh squeeking when i accelerate, and the drivers window creaking

 

[thedoc]

washer headlight balls ggrrrrr!

 

[davebem]

Creeking sunroof when open
Rattling sunroof when icy
Watery sounding sunroof when wet,
oh and windscreen wipers that go the wrong way. Also the standard ride height is too high. Apart from that its cool looking funky frech car.

 

[Eddd]

No rear wiper on the Ragnotti!

 

[edde]

Lack of stearing feedback

 

[TwoSugars]

Rattles p*ss me off. My clio is booked in Renault for sunroof rattling! (Can this be fixed?)

I was thinking tho, do cars like Ford, Peugot & Cirtoen have these rattles and taps etc ?

 

[five5v]

The thing that irritates me is its stealth capabilities..great, no one knows what it is...but that means they wont GET OUT OF MY WAY.

 

[White16valver]

Leaky Sunroofs.

I had a bath when I got up, I dont need another one in the car!!

Ford rattle but the difference is you cant find where its coming from not sure about citroen and pug. Think reno can fix the sunroofs they channge the handles on them to a better design i think, they charge you for it obviously.

 

[mr sheep]

rraattttlleeess constantly even on pefectly flat roads, had sunroof done twice as have both my mum and stepdad.

how hard can it be to make a car with a dash that is actually fixed down to the car.

crap turning circle as well.

 

[tom_c]

leaky sunroof

I wanted 2 get them on my Dynamique but thought they were a bit pricey as an option, probably not worth it!

Yeh I agree with that, its a annoying whistle, but a few tunes soon sort that out

 

[cliomk2]

Ill wait till i get my new clio and let you know what annoys me!

 

[cliomk2]

oh wait just on the test drive that bloody middle seatbelt will probly annoy me when i get driving it !

 

[Clio1400]

Lol, you dont notice it mate unless youre reversing

 

[Ally]

Sounds like Ill be right at home in my new Clio - just moving from a Fiat Punto, so I cant really have any worse build quality/rattles than that!

 

[Moby]

Dont have any irritations about the Clio anymore

What did annoy me was the rattling passenger seat, normally during summer months but this seems to be a very common annoyance with cups and 172s - maybe even other models?

 

[KDF]

Well thats one I havent had yet (the rattely passenger seat).. looking forward to joining that club..

 

[Moby]

lol - i only seemed to get it intermitently, thats what annoyed me!

 

[h3lter]

gear box! f**kin noisy sun roof! i find the turnin circle mint on mine!



rattles with system! and bad light fade! (even with cap)

 

[cliomk2]

Well you cant beat the sunroof rattle in my old clio.

IT would seem when im on my own it would not happen but as soon as there were other people in the car the b*****d would start rattaling to make it sound like ive got a crap car!
