Yippee, another chance to discuss Renault Reliability!
Don't see many Moduses about, which probably means people prefer the Note. But neither will pull a horsebox, and you'll have to keep the keys where Alistair can't lose them in a poker game.

You dont see many notes about either. The note has a slightly bigger feel and is less ugly than the Modus.
However I havent seen a huge groundswell of people moaning about either, but that could be due to low sales numbers.

Maybe my high Note count has something to do with the Nissan dealer two streets away!

My Mum has the petrol 1.6 SVE and is pleased. Seems very spacious and SVE is well equipped and IMHO looks good in the bright blue with the dark glass. Can't comment on diesel vs petrol but if you can stretch to SVE spec that would be good.
I see quite a few Notes about and very few Modii (sp?).
Good luck

Both share the same jointly developed diesel engine.
Modus is doing some good work at turning Renault's patchy record around. First of the 'Ghosn' Renaults after some considerable backside kicking within the company. Clio is the second model, Sept 07 Laguna the third.
....." the Modus has at last broken the spell on Renault's poor reliability, with a performance in its first two years that even some Far-Eastern carmakers might envy." (Which? 2006/07)
Very comforatble ride, similar to the old Renault 4. But without the roll :-)

" the Modus has at last broken the spell on Renault's poor reliability with a performance in its first two years that even some Far-Eastern carmakers might envy."
Somewhat ironically, this comment was probably directed at Nissan. Ironic because one of the reasons the Modus will be doing so well is that fundamentally it's more a Nissan design than a Renault one. But, I do see that the Clio/Modus seems to be turning Renault's record around, and that can only be a good thing. If they can get back to the idea of producing a car with Japanese engineering and French design they'll be unstoppable.

On my A31/M27/M3 daily commute I'd say Notes outnumber Modus(Modii?) about 4:1, they seem to becoming more common.
