  Hi, Can anyone help with the following please: I have a 1992 (K Reg) Renault Clio Automatic.

  Dear Honest John, I bought a used Renault Megane 1.6e RT Sport with 30,000 miles on the clock, and I am about to put it though it's first service.

• Cheap to run cars 30 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  They have the disadvantage of sub 30mpg. When I have tried smaller more economical cars (Fiesta, Skoda, Renault 19) I have certainly spent less on petrol but have ended up spending much more on repairs. What cars do you recommend that could be purchased for little money, could run for 20,000 in a year without wearing out (as my smaller cars have always seemed to) and return in excess of 35mpg?

• Toyota Avensis vs Hyundai i40 3 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Has anyone got/driven either and what is their experience? Are there any other contenders that we have overlooked? I have also looked at the Renault Grand Scenic - i liked the drive and space, but not sure about reliability and the fact it's a people carrier... on the other hand, I don't want to rule out having another baby, so woiuld we end up needing a people carrier anyway or would a large estate do?

• Secondhand Jaguar XE vs New 2021 Dacia Sandero - Luxury Secondhand vs New Small Car 9 Apr 2021 (Forum)
  Hi All, Looking at getting another car but can’t decide on whether to get a secondhand Jaguar XE at £10000 or a new Dacia Sandero 2021 model based on Renault Clio. Mileage is about 10,000 to 13,000 but hearing mixed comments on Jaguar Servicing charges. I know the Jag will be a better ride and more luxurious but what about reliability and cost of unforeseen things like clutch etc on the Jaguar.

• Suzuki Swift Sport - I don’t want a Turbo 2 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  After looking around for a hot/ warm hatch that I plan to replace my current Toyota Yaris with next year. I find myself back to square one. I have test driven a 2016 Fiesta ST, VW Polo GTI and Renault Clio RS and find that although each one is very quick, they didn’t put a smile on my face like the Suzuki Swift Sport did, that until I drive a Toyota GT86 last week. My current car loves to rev and although these new turbo car are quick and efficient, they just sound synthetic and not the sound of an engine roaring through the gears, so that’s it then either a Suzuki Swift Sport or Toyota GT86 depending on what money I have left.
• Should insuring an import cost more? 13 Jun 2017 (Forum)

I just dont understand it!!!!!!!!!!!

• Car Buying advice 16 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  I'm hoping to get some advice and recommendations as feeling completely lost as to which car to choose. I sold my old beloved 01 plate Renault Scenic around 9 months ago. After toying with idea of a berlingo type car I eventually ended up with a Ford C-Max. Unfortunately I've ended up with a dog of a car that's given me nothing but trouble, and that I don't really like the look or feel of.
