Buyer beware.
« on: May 28, 2018, 02:11:34 PM »
Renault and ford have joined forces to create the perfect small car for women. Mixing the renault 'clio' and the ford 'taurus' they have designed the 'clitaurus'. It comes in pink and the average male car thief won't be able to find it let alone turn it on, even if someone tells him where it is and how to do it. Rumour has it though it can be a real bitch to start in the morning and some have reported that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can't get it to turn over. New models are initially fun to own but very costly to maintain and horribly expensive to get rid of. Used models may initially appear to have kerb appeal and a low price but eventually have an increased appetite for fuel, and the kerb weight typically increases with age. Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the boot increases but say that the trim may just make it LOOK bigger. This model is not expected to reach collector status, most owners find it best to lease one and replace it when it becomes troublesome....

  ;D  Good one! My brother in law had a couple of clio's, absolutely swore by them. As for the scenic, a guy at work had one of the early ones and it kept locking him out! Often he'd get to it at the end of a shift and he couldn't get into it. The garage had it a couple of times but as you know, with sods law, it behaved perfectly for them....
