Most Annoying Thing About Your Clio...



  RB 197 fatty
For me it has to be the trip computer.

when you flick through all the little options, you get to the not so helpfull 'how many miles left untill i run out of petrol' thingy.

as soon as the petrol light comes on, and it gets to somewhere near below 50 miles left... it goes blank!

Whats the point in that? surly you need it most when youv almost run out! you need to know if theres 2 miles left in it to get to the BP down the road......... not that you got 400 miles to go when you fill it up! useless!:mad:

- RANT OVER - :D

The rattles.

Never used to have any but old age and Britain's crappy roads have loosened it up :(

And it's too slow for me :dapprove:

Might be the wipers in the wind or, the little cutout hole under the drivers door mirror, have a look ;) lol

How tall actually are you?.... your probs the only member that doesn't have it on the lowest setting.....

Mines on highest too :eek: lol
3rd person here too.. I have mine on the highest setting too, but I have the seat all the way back on the runners too, Like to be able to see the front of the bonnet and I find it the most comfy position to be in..

Thing I most hate about mine?
When the wife has it. It's a superb car and I've only had one minor problem with it since buying it new. (front xenon washer jet leaking)
Other than that, no rattles :D

I must have one of the better built clio's, either that or the fact I don't thrash it everywhere :approve:

Auto wipers. Complete toss.

Went out on saturday night and it was throwing it down and the wipers would only do intermitant but when i pulled up say at traffic lights they went mad, as fast as they could go! Then when you pulled away they went back to intermitant.

The frogs eh.

Mine would have to be when auto lights are on you cant flash people...
You touch the stalk then its POW!!! full beam, then you have to release the stalk and touch it again to turn it off..... Annoying....

I've got that whining noise too!! Really annoying. I understood it was something to do with the seal of the windscreen, but I might be wrong. Can't be arsed to sort it out as I only notice it on the track. ;) Other than that, it has to be the auto wipers and the turning circle! I've seen Aircraft Carriers turn easier than Clios! :mad:

I like it that way if so.
