Well it’s only a clio so I don’t think will get much interest from the readers ride thread!

Lots of things to like about the car. The Alpine trim stuff is good in most parts bar the plastic wheel things. The seats/ French flag details etc are all well done. The car welcomes you on the info screen with the alpine logo etc.

The hybrid engine is excellent- it is a 4 speed auto but pretty good as a transmission. Especially good are the heated seats and steering wheel which are bloody hot on cold day. Infotainment system is also excellent and all major controls like aircon / heated seats are all on physical buttons and dials which is good. Ride is quite soft.’
Down side - back seats are tight. Fine for kids for short journeys but not good for adults. The infamous Renault key card remains. The bike rack whistles in the wind but is easy to take off and on.

Wow, im something of a Clio perv now so it interesting. Good to hear the engine seems a peach.

Thats very exciting and something I think I would have gravitated to were my youthful self around now. Post some more pics, but not of your morning glory.

Oops. Slight delay. Went for a service and ended up putting a new gearbox in it as well.

The squiggles are on the plate as it’s now up for sale. Plan was to 197/200 convert the car but it gets literally zero use unfortunately

I've bought a 508... An out of warranty French car with lots of gadgets like Adaptive suspension, Night Vision (No idea) and even massaging seats....What could possibly go wrong ...
