New Clio features to make you buy

[JAF 182]

What would you want to see new/different?

First up for me would be a lower seat and gear lever further back and more bhp to make up for the weight gain...

 

[Iain C]

Nicer rims and lower ride hight. Better seats and a sunroof option.

Less rattles

 

[Dust]

Better seat position
6 Speed Box with more positive shift
More effort with trim finish(better quality)


Most important - Some sort of half decent service/understanding of the car from dealer!

 

[Tez.]

More effort with trim finish(better quality)

^^^^^^ yup tis very true

 

[andy_leitch]

Aston Martin badge. Possibly a V12.

All the above plus a smaller, better looking steering wheel!!!

 

[dubster]

Better interior build quality, and no knocking from the engine under acceleration!

 

[MarkCup]

Better gearshift is an absolute must.

A reach adjustable steering wheel so I can get it 2 inches closer.

No ABS or ESP would be a bonus

I know how fast that is cos ive been there myself and all I can say is I hope it was on a test track!

I think I would like to see some dealership wide serciving guidelines and prices set out by Renault UK. So many dealers - so many different prices for the same work. The dealers should have to comply to a UNIFORM body at Renault.

 

[Chad]

A three grand price tag and a turbo

 

[Levo]

Better trim quality/no rattles

Keyless entry/starting

2l Turbo for £8k with group 5 insurance

 

[Red Clio 52]

UK wide fixed servicing costs........set by Renault, and more feedback from the service departments.

 

[st33ly]

Six speed option + front diff!

REALISTICALLY:-

Smaller steering wheel

Lower seat height

6th gear - purely for motorway crusing really it just doesnt seem to settle down and behave at the 70-80mph cruising speed if that makes ANY sense at all. I want it to just pootle along and its sitting at that magical 4-4500 mark (i.e. just before the va va voom!)

Trim quality I can handle, its not that bad REALLY.

MOST of all, DECENT knowledge and servicing from the dealerships. I dont want my car driven around by the greasy little c**ts dirtying up my seats, I dont want my car washed (and thereby scratched to buggery) and I dont want fully synth oil when Ive done under 1000 miles. I dont want to pay STOOPID prices for services. MOST of all, when I book my car in for 9am, I expect to walk in at 8.55am, hand my keys to the service desk, and watch the mechanics IMMEDIATELY start work at the allotted time. NOT walk in at 8.55am, handover my keys and watch the car not get started on until 11am.

 

[edde]

I dont want an agreed service price otherwise Id end up paying more than £150 for a 36k service

 

[182woo]

what hip spasm said

 

[Jim172CUP]

i fatally messed about with my seat height today and now i cant get my legs under the massive steeringwheel properly, still feels uncomfortable.

 

[Dave]

LMFAO! Heres a hint, the lowest setting, then slouch a bit and its A-ok!
