A good naturally aspirated or non turbo car can last 350-400ks with regular maintenance at least every 10 000ks. I service my own vehicle and change my own oil every 7500ks and the car is 15 years old. I spend about R3000 a year on maintenance as I do all of it myself and my insurance is R400 a month. The more basic the car the better for me. Those Baleno's and Swifts and older VW Polo's will go and go and go. BMW and Mercedes, Audi's are very complicated and they cut costs by using a lot of plastic bits under the bonnet where most people don't look. The depreciation on those vehicles is scary. Once out of warranty good luck. Lots of things start breaking after 200 000ks. Very good content Muzi. Keep it up.

The drive train has never been opened besides being serviced on time and a little preventative maintenance since it's used to shuttle patients between Mpumalanga and Gauteng daily and can't afford to ever break down.

I watched this video at least 4 times before I bought my pre-loved 2018 Clio 900T last year & just had to give an update (yes, I know no one asked, lol). I agree she is very fuel efficient even off eco mode (drove it from DBN to JHB on a single tank & still had fuel to drive around), the turbo lag is non-existent, & the standard sound is great. I got the Dynamique with alloy wheels, silver trim on the doors & boot, electric windows, folding side mirrors, semi-leather seats & lifesaving onboard navigator. My monthly cost of ownership is ±4 800 (instalment, insurance & fuel), bought the car for R189 000 at ±48 000km & it's currently sitting at 51 000km and has an extended service & warranty plan. I haven't had any issues so far & the only negative is the cupholders which are a bit small for a standard water bottle. I absolutely love her! Highly recommend her, especially to my female friends as she's so sexy without the high-risk stress like a polo.

West Bank offered a 11,5 linked and 13% fixed and with residual price of R60 000😂. The monthly instalment was R4200 per month for 72months with a 2 year service extension. When I did my calculations I saw that I was going to pay almost 85% interest on the car. That is when I realised that dreams delayed are not dreams denied😂. From now I will be saving until I can buy a car cash. You are right when you say the best way to buy a car is by cash. Now I see why. Thank you for the great content 👏👌

I bought a new T900 Sandero 2016 model with same engine as Clio back in 2016, my installment was 2.2k, Insurance 1.1k in GP, moved to CT and now paying 800 with 1.5 access. Im clocking 250k +, I’ve changed timing chain at 150k mileage because I was driving the car like it came with a launch control lol, lesson learnt. Renault quoted me 12k but I used another workshop for 5k. After 6 years I wanted to upgrade but with recession looming im sticking with my Sandero for more years. From CT to Jozi I used to spend 1.7 now it’s probably 2k +. So far im happy with the car I can change brake pads/disc and minor services myself thanks to KZfaq DIY videos.

Hi man, I love your content I drive 900T 2014 expression Clio, bought it at +170 000 km mileage in Jan 2022. Let me say it chose me. Previous owner took very good care of it, but gave me few problems because was as if it was not being driven for long. Major issue was Gearbox and few other parts that are scarce and expensive by the way. Service 2,5k at service city. It's my 6th car, first 2nd hand car meant for my day to day use and I'm in love. My advice for all those driving over 100 000km mileage cars, ensure you remind your service centre to check gearbox oil all the time. They neglect it often and is costly to fix.

I bought it last year June. Responds well. The turbo kicks in quickly. Overall good comfortable driving and handling. The steering is very light and smooth, the gear changes can be jerky if you are quick to lift your foot of the clutch. Holding it on the bite point of a second before fully releasing provides a smoother gear change. I've dragged before against other cars and I absolutely enjoy the powerful pull it has between second and third gear. Very exhilarating. I'm going to invest in black rims because I'm not a fan of the standard wheels with those plastic caps. It looks really nice with rims though. Great fuel economy and a very reliable car overall

@esthetics4512 9 ай бұрын

To combat the jerk learn to REV MATCH every manual car jerks when downshifting if your not rev matching another way is to hold the clutch down for an extended time until it puts the revs in the desired state for a smooth downshift but that is gonna cost you speed

Another simplified and absolutely great review nduna 👏🏾👏🏾...well done! Clio not an all bad car actually although I feel he paid a bit too much for it especially given that it had some accident associated issues, however minor. Otherwise the turbo makes it exciting n definitely much better than a vivo 1.4; and infact my thinking is that any car without a turbo should at least be 1.6 to give it that oomph. (speaking particularly with VW, those bastards make the worse performing 1.4s😏🚮) But overall this is a great budget car especially with the 0.9L. Easy to maneuver, easy to run and hopefully easy to maintain in a long run. How it holds up on value over time it's another story but for now superb for point A to B👌🏽

Yeah... You're right about the service part. My recent service price escalated from the usual 'major service' fee for a Hyundai i10 from 2014. The clutch was an expected high cost to it.

My only advice is to make sure that the timing chain is serviced before the warranty expires as it is a very expensive repair. Also, try to save money for service so you can pay cash. So far I have not paid more than R2000 for service.

Honestly it hasnt given me any issues besides routine maintainance like service and brakes the only major thing has been the timing belt changes which cost over 9k at renault but if you are driving the turbo version its much cheaper as its a timing chain which needs less service.

No major issues so far; except one battery change and has been serviced twice by a local mechanic (that is very diligent). I loooooove and enjoy my baby so much. My biggest flex is the cruise control & ample boot space (that my polo friends dont have 😂).

These thing of not understanding cars better its a problem, when using a gravel road i made sure i drive 100km/h and above thinking it doesn't really feel the might of the gravel only to find that im killing shock mountings, fine. The only challenge i had with the car was the battery, this car doesn't need small size batteries when you always parked and playing music as you will have to replace it every year and when battery start giving dying it trickers all the warnings from computer box to the dash screen and you will have a headache thinking the car is crazy.but when battery get charged all is back to normal. This car is good on fuel when your tyre pressure is on recommended level and smooth driving, no need for a polo. .

I own a 2019 88kw Clio EDC expression. (1.2T) Had no issues with the car in 2 years of ownership, although I'm still under 40kkm and the car is still under factory warranty. On paper it's actually more fuel efficient than the 0.9 litre 3 cylinder. One thing I'd say to look out for is the 4 years service. The service plan in these cars are only 3 years if you don't pay to extend it. The 4th year service is a major service which will cost well over 10k, as they check the timing chain and a lot of other major stuff. Also if you're looking to buy one older than 4 years, make sure this service has been done as many skip this due to the high cost. Just like people skip the timing chain service on Polos.

Part 3, the car is fine to drive, with stability and traction control as standard safety features plus brake assist, ite hard to find the car in scrapyards like polo, the safety control of these car is a top notch. I only got hit by a learner driver on the side cause he skipped the stop sign at a high speed and i couldn't avoid him,as he came out of nowhere. As for parts neh. Don't be lied to, if you can't get them at renault or they expensive, just go to spares you will find them. Renault doesn't produce most parts you just need to shop around like your shocks, wipers, tyres,brakes etc. Don't be obsessed to buy at the dealership. Another issue is polo drivers who think they can be faster than you, just go for a full throttle and avoid early shifts then they will respect you. Dont forget to service your car regularly 😉 .

The key card can stop working though (card reader won't recognize the card) and the car won't start. Renault will quote you over R4000 for 2 keycards but the problem can be fixed by locksmiths who know how to do it. I got both my keycards done for R450 each. The spare wheel situation is inconvenient. I still enjoy driving this car 😀

The issues I started experiencing after 100 000km was the central locking system that died and the car was not locking, Renault wanted me to pay around R9 000 to fix it as they refused warranty claim due to other issues related to servicing the car late during the hard lock down. The spare wheel mechanism is also dead, I put spare wheel in the boot instead. The electric windows are also not working anymore. I have changed battery 4 times, I suspect some is wrong but Ranult says I am just buying cheap batteries. Otherwise the car is indeed cheap maintenance.

And to ensure your turbo lives long, idle your car for a minute to 5 before driving, or don't immediately switch off your engine after you were traveling over 80km/h for turbo to cool off, just Google about turbo laws

I drive a clio 2014 0.9 turbo also....man this car is super amazing plus mine is in charcoal grey....I spent some money getting it back to normal since the previous owner did not service it. I paid around 10K at renault, but later realised I could have gotten it fixed for less than half that price if I had known the renault specialist I know today....very fuel ⛽ efficient and easy to use infotainment system. The drive quality is absolutely amazing, great for long distances and very comfortable with 4 adults. I would highly recommend it because of the peace it brings as its a low risk beauty

What I will advice is that you get yourself a local mechanic near you who specialises in Renaults....you will always spend almost half the amount of money on them than at the Renault Service points.....thats one of the best maintenance advices I'll ever give to you....but for service related purposes...meaning the normal service ,go to the Renault Service centre for purposes of getting their stamps every time on your Service book....if u don't have a service book you can get them at Renault for less than R60....all the best with your purchase 😉

I drive a 2012 Clio mk3 1.6L and got it with 104 000km last year Oct and now clocking 116 000km, monthly cost are about 4k on average for everything. Only thing I don’t like is that the recommended tires that fit the car are rarely available and so they cost an arm and a leg(8k for a whole set)… apart from that, I enjoy the naturally aspirated engine without the turbo lag and it being a 1.6L means it has lots of power to a point that a 2nd gear start or 3rd gear on a hill isn’t a problem… lastly, a full tank(45L) cost me about R1100 and it gives me 800km, which I personally drove to prove it😅… on a weekly basis I only buy R300 worth of fuel which last me about a week

Part 2.:sorry you will have to scroll down for part 1 message. Another issue with this car is the turbo lag indeed, polo guys will beat you on a take off but believe you me when you enter gear 3,you will only watch them with your rear mirrors. You just need to not skip service for these car and you will have no issues. At around 183000km, the timing chain started giving me noise and i had to change it at around 5k including labour and water pump as well because the person who was fixing timing chain said the water pump also need replacing but it gave no issues, i also had to change my driver window electric controller cause i don't know who spilled water in it. At the moment my right driver side speaker is dead and getting to affect the left one. And if one light dies make sure you replace it as it will affect other electrical components especially fuses blowing them one by one. I just need to replace my shock mountings and rear shocks now then m good

I drive a 2014 Clio expression ,got it at 51 000km in 2020 , currently sitting on 110 000km . It’s only once where I had to pay more than 3,5 (usually it’s around 3,2 to 3,5) for a service and that’s recently with a timing chain change which was around 12k at 100 000km but otherwise very reasonable to maintain in comparison with the invoices you once posted about your polo Vivo at the same mileage/service intervals as me . Brake pads are around 2k if my memory serves me well .

Hi Muzi. My aunt bought her Clio 900T expression in 2016 and around 50 000-60 000 km. Its not at +-125 000 km and has a problem with the water bottle. Its difficult to drive at high speed as it will automatically slow itself down and show warning lights Once it does that,you have to open up the bonnet and fill up the water again. The water bottle once bursted and we had to replace it and its still doing the same thing. Our local renault dealer quoted us about R40k for things unrelated to the issues and our local mechanic quoted us R15k for parts and labour. We really thinking of just sending it to webuycars and getting a newer less problematic car
