Description
You probably already know how good of Renaultsport Clio Cup is on the road and particularly in the twisties. However, before I drove this car, I didn't fully appreciate just how exciting a French hatchback could be. I've used it for making local trips more interesting, some longer road trips with fellow petrol heads and also introducing my teenage sons to the excitement of cars without their mum around .
Heavily influenced by a good friend who is a Renault fan boy, I found the best one I could at the time and made sure it had the Recaro seats and air- Conditioning which make it both feel special and comfortable in all scenarios.
The previous owner had invested recently in new cam belt, water pump , etc as well as having the steering wheel re-trimmed in Alcantara which is a nice bonus. His invoice just before having to sell ( due to divorce !) was over 1500.
In my ownership the car has had everything it's needed maintenance wise done, including clutch, brakes, battery, suspension etc. and invoices including oil changes come to over 4K .
Car is showing 8000 miles before next service due. Tyres will probably need replacement before then as at 3-4 mm. Mot due September but I can get it refreshed before sale .
Bad points
- scratch on wheel (I will try and get sorted )
- degraded rubber door seals ( replacement ordered from France )
- couple of minor chips (otherwise car in great condition)
Time to sell as fancy a change - happy to chat about the car before visiting , but the car is fit as a fiddle and great fun to drive .
