Things a clio sport DOESNT have!

[unfortunately_french]

Hello all, i've had my clio 182 sport (non cup) for just over a month now and so far it's been pretty good. The other day when i picked up some dry cleaning for the Mrs. i noticed that the clio doesnt have any of those hangers on the grab handles for hanging clothes up! I know it's a performance biased car but was a bit disappointed still Also the cupholders are pretty rubbish and awkward to access when driving, although i still love the car. Can you think of any other things that are very simple that alot of other cars have that clio's don't? Stupid comments aren't necessary, sensible ones are

I think you kind of missed the point lol I'm talking about actual parts of a car, rather than drive train types, engine types, reliability and fuel economy.

 

[Dan]

Hmm not rele us Clio owners don't do bad tbh because I hear older vectras don't have a fag lighter or port to plug ur sat nav in, also seats seem to miss randoms off diff cars m8s Ibiza doesn't have a boot light lol

 

[unfortunately_french]

Alot of new cars don't have a cigarette lighter, they make you buy "smoker's packs" as optional extras that come with ash trays and stuff, but stuff a clio doesnt have?

 

[Dan]

Hmm I dunno what the 182 FF doesn't have apart from what u found tbh

But the 182 cups back seats dont fold down in 2 parts it's just 1 full bench that all 3 seats fold down The FF u can fold 1 seat or the 2 other seats down like most other cars

 

[unfortunately_french]

Yeah i noticed that the other day and just wondered if anyone else had spotted anything else coz i've only had the car for like a month.

It's doesn't have a standard aux in, fords do now

None of the cars i've had have had a standard aux in (corsa, saxo, lupo gti, now the clio)

 

[Dave..]

I want an arm rest, and a gear lever that isn't on the floor.

 

[Dan]

Fords do now and toyotas I think even the bottom of the range transit we have at work has an aux in :S

Would be a lot better if the clios did have 1 tbh

Yeah an arm rest would be nice! I don't find the gear lever too low really, maybe it's the seat that's too high even on the lowest setting but we know what everyone thinks about that.

In fairness though, my clio is a late 2004, and not many 2004 fords had aux in as standard iirc.

A 2.0l engine

 

[unfortunately_french]

Yeah mines only got a 1.998 litre engine

This. My Clio also has no rear speakers. Bit odd.

 

[robbygraham]

mine doesn't have a spare wheel arm rest would be nice. newer shape clios have dedicated cornering lights. sunroof ( had one in my last clio and it clicked and creaked non stop so glad this one doesn't have one) also rear leg room.

 

[Knuckles]

Megane handbrake would be win like

 

[guysy]

A cup holder that id be confident a can of coke wouldn't spill everywhere when turning a corner... not important but little things

 

[Bramley]

a 2L engine

 

[welshname]

A boot light on both sides

 

[Inferno]

An exhaust made out of metal.

 

[mantis946]

Something other than a planet for a steering wheel, also preferable that said planet is not made of cheese.

 

[Munson]

A gear stick that you can reach if you're 6ft and don't sit 3" from the steering wheel. Oh and yes, a steering wheel that isn't the size of a penny farthings front, and doesn't melt if you touch it.

 

[Sam]

I know its been said but for me its the cup holders. There flipping stupid and you can't even put a mcdonalds drink in there.

Sam.

 

[la21t]

These kinda threads do make me giggle, its a 10yr+ old design and people expecting 'Aux in' etc - first iPod was launched AFTER the vehicle but you expect Renault to anticipate the technology market and fit a handful of 'just in cases'.....

They did give you a windscreen with which you can attach a TomTom though so they had some foresight

 

[Munson]

A windscreen that fits, and doesn't start howling at 100mph.

 

[ffoegs]

better hinges on the boot

 

[SC03OTT]

A 2.0l engine

Lol, I was going to post that but decided against it.

You buy a cup and then moan about the lack of toys! Roffle.

 

[Munson]

He said non cup. As per the quote. WTAF.

 

[JD]

Audi drivers are clearly slower than Ford drivers, eh Roy!

 

[Tiger260]

Tilt AND reach steering column.
A brake reservior where you can get at it.

[DrR]

Ability to turn just the rear fogs on.

Really is lacking a motorway cruising gear.

 

[M@tt_182]

easy access to the sidelight bulbs, what a pain in the arse!

 

[172head]

A heated windscreen and hydraulic bonnet lifters.

 

[Goodj]

Didn't earlier 172's come without ESP?

Which, combined with children with a desire to blow all their money on insurance, means less older 172's on the road.
