Have the 1200cc motor... or rather had...
Getting the engine replaced on warranty, and then trading up to a Captur... But still... Best car I've had.

Woah!!
What happened to your 1.2T!? Was this the 1.2T EDC Expression or 1.2T GT Line?

EDC Expression.
It started burning through oil... like 1l every 1000km.
My polo used to take 500ml oil for every 1000kms. was "within spec"
then again it was the notorious 1.4 twincharged. My clio RS220 has not used a drop of oil in a year
Can you please comment on the Renault Captur? I am thinking of buying one, but heard that they were expensive to service and that they are not very reliable- they break down quite often? I am so confused and hoped that someone who has owned a Renault could give me some advice please.Woah!!

They tell you specifically the Captur is bad or did they say all french cars are bad?
My wife has one. Had it like 6 months. Not had any issues yet. Comes with 5 year warranty so if any issues should be covered

Have had 2 Renault Clios with the 900T engine and haven't had a single issue. You get a Service Plan and 5 year Warranty so you should be good.
I have a friend who got her Captur when they were first released and she has been happy with it, she takes it down Durban a couple times a year. ONLY issue was someone smashing her window to steal her laptop, but that's a crime issue not a car issue.
Hi there, in general, but that the services are very expensive outside the service plans - like R8 000 for a 90 000kms service?
Ok thanks. Do you know anything about the cost of servicing the vehicle (after the service plan expired?)

That is abnormal, probably a cambelt service.

Nearly-new buying guide: Renault Clio Mk4
This stylish supermini has a lot going for it. We peruse specs and prices as the arrival of its replacement looms
Last month Autocar honoured Laurens van den Acker, Renault’s head of design, with its coveted Sturmey Award for his work in transforming the look and appeal of his employer’s products. The first of the new generation of models to emerge was the Clio Mk4, launched in 2013. When it first arrived, prices started at £10,595 for the 1.2 75 Expression, and today they top out at £19,170 for a new GT Line Energy dCi 90 auto. But you don’t need to be paying that…
Instead, over the past six years a world of used Mk4 Clios has emerged, with prices ranging from around £3900 for a 2013-reg Clio Expression 1.5 dCi with 96,000 miles, to £16,000 for a 2019/19-reg Clio GT Line TCe 90 with 5000 miles. Fancy something livelier? Your £16,000 will also buy a 2018/18- reg 1.6 Renault Sport Nav 200 with 9000 miles.
Us? We’d put our money into a two-year-old Clio that has suffered its biggest initial drop in value. Something like a 2017/17-reg Clio TCe 90 Dynamique S Nav with 17,000 miles for £9400 – which is about £8000 less than it cost new. It would be a close call between that and its diesel equivalent, an officially approved used 1.5 dCi 90 with 20,000 miles for £9500.
The engine line-up, as you may already have noticed, features petrol (TCe) and diesel (dCi) engines. Of the petrols, the old-school 1.2 is good value used, but the TCe 90 is more efficient. The 1.5 dCi 110 is a cracker: punchy, refined and frugal. In 2013 the warm GT Line TCe 120 was launched, but before you dive in, there are better alternatives out there, including the Citroën DS3.
Dynamique S is a good spec because it comes with alloy wheels, climate control, sat-nav, electric windows all round and rear parking sensors. However, from launch all versions, including basic Expression (later renamed Play), had Bluetooth, electric mirrors and front windows, and an uprated sound system. From Dynamique upwards, all trims have Renault’s R-Link infotainment setup, with its wide, 7.0in touchscreen and a digital radio. For a time, Signature Nav trim sat at the top of the heap, boasting front parking sensors, a reversing camera and part-leather trim, but we prefer midspec Dynamique or uprated Iconic for their sheer value.

Test drove the RS 18 EDC over the weekend - what an epic car. 10/10 would recommend. I just don't get why the service intervals are 10 000km though.

High performance hatch?

Are intervals for all high performance vehicles 10 000km then? Is this a regular thing? A quick search of the service intervals for a the new Polo GTI brings up 15 000km. Or is this just a bad comparison that I am doing?

To be honest im not really sure, i cant remember my service intervals for my mazda 3 mps, But i am sure this has to do with it somehow, all things considered being more powerful etc etc

Fair enough, but I'll just ask around.
