Im so glad so many of you agree that Renault are crap. Its almost like they have been designed as a example of how Not to do things!

What apart from their 5* Safety ratings across the range, and one of the best hot hatches of all time, infact all of the Renault Sport range is absolutely brilliant.

The Twingo 133, Clio 172/182, Clio 200, Megane 225. They handle great and they go like the nuts.

I'll just leave this here:

It doesnt matter how good the safety rating is if it doesnt move! I agree, if you have ever had to do a cambelt on a Clio you'd understand how horrific they are. Why do they insist on fitting 'sun'roofs that leak like seive. Oh and the fuseboxes on scenics being a catchtank for rain water off the windscreens!
If you look on autotrader for anything under £1000 90% will be french cars. you might get some saabs too because they are crap too!

Since when does "reliability" make the best car manufacturer ?

We all love Minis, but it's not the reliability that we go for, else we wouldn't be here!



I bet I'd have more fun in the Alfa than most of the ones above it!

That's the thing though, they just feel so broken and like they're about to die on you, for a mini thats all fun and games, but for a modern daily Alfa just don't match up!

I have done. But we still own a 51 plate Ph2 1.2 16V clio. It's a great little car, much better than its competitors, safer, better looking.

Clio>Corsa.

That's what they feel like when they come in!

But still afterwards, a 70k mile Alfa, the interior etc just feels so tired!

Mine's on 102k & it's perfect!

[dennismini93]

this should be a poll and not a topic, it would be quite interesting.

Then you've got a good one! Maybe this one was just abused?

Good looking cars I must say! Although from what I've witnessed no thanks

[minilee94]

Vw are very good to be fair depends how it's driven none of our golfs have problems I work for fleet vehicles and they don't really go wrong

T5s we had a week were we done about 3 turbos and to be fair that's all they suffer with

Its quite entertaining how people can seem to take offence because someone says something bad against the manufacturers of cars they like.

Bravo Ryan for creating a good 'discussion'.

But I see noone has mentioned FIAT even though they have that Fix It Again Tomorrow thing going on

Or have they been mentioned and ive missed it

There are many crap car manufacturer, good to see what other people think, still by far to me has to be Renault cheap builds, unreliable and hard to fix, awful cars!

I was about to mention fiat, also rather crap... had to change a sump on a 06 plate punto because it was rotten and leaking oil!

[TylerW53]

Have Fiat ever made a good car? My Dads chinkychento was terrible.
