Hi there

Does anyone own a Renault Modus Auto 2006-7 model?

Please share your experiences on this car in terms of maintenance , reliability, drive, fuel economy?

If not, please share thoughts on Renault automatics in general

Thanks

Well many here on MyBB will say as it's French it's rubbish
others will say you marry them, as the resale is very low,

I don't think mechanically anything can go wrong as Renault started working with Nissan by then but electronic problems should be of concern as older gen Renault's had a lot of tech for its time.

Had a 2006 model:
- lots of electrical issues
- rear drum brakes very expensive to replace as they come as a while kit including the bearing
- need to send car to agents to have headlight bulbs replaced as you need to take 1/2 the engine out to get to them
- clutch was very expensive to replace due to it being a whole kit (ie. Cant just skim /replace plate)
- did i mention electrical issues?
- otherwise not a bad car; quite spacious for it's size.
