Did the handling/ride deteriorate too much after >10years?
Actually my brother owned one. Last time i drove, handling is nice, ' harmonically'tuned to chasis n road.
What about replacement parts price? timing belt replacement cost how much? Air filter price? Oil filter price? Can i say they cost almost similar to local cars'?
nope. never
savvy handling is really
one of the best that I ever encounter before.
I had only a front 4 point strut bar with 195/45/15 tyres, the road handling and corner is really good.
maybe because of its design?
replacement parts are affordable.
timing belt, I'm using gates.
water pump, only change 1 time.
ignition coil, advise to go for original Renault only. I tried the blue coil and the china coil, really not too suitable for me.
Air filter, using a K&N, just service every 10k.
no regret for a small car.
the only complain that I got is too small for a family.. cannot ferry too many passenger, underpowered.
