Renault Modus

1.2 Turbo 100 - Renault has been turning out the highly popular Clio supermini for as long as anyone can remember, but then in 2004 came the Modus. This was a supermini too, but looking more like an MPV it offered mo... read more

Renault Modus expression 2006

1 star review

Horrible,depressing recycled plastic interior. Nylon like fabrics worthy of the 1970s. Carpet like egg box material. Performance of a snail. Shadily designed car that requires the financial input of a Jag to maintain, due to designed in difficulties, such as the ridiculous front lights and rare tyre designs.

2 star review

My Modus has done 43,000 miles and gone through 8 coil packs. Then the cam belt went - £ to sort this out. It’s only 4 years old. Great car, apar from the dodgy 1.4 engine. No more Renault’s for me...

Don’t ever try to change a headlamp bulb on the Modus!! In fact, don’t try to change anything under the "bonnet" of a Modus. Thanks Mr Modus designer for costing me £40 for a new £3 bulb!

Renault Modus 1.4 16v Oasis 2006

4 star review

Super little car, flies up hill for a small engine,and returns good mpg but has anyone had to change a front sidelight bulb? No? Well I have! The bulb costs about £1 - to change it at the local Renault garage costs about £30!!! Why? Because the bumper has to be removed, fortunately my local garage found a short cut, long story, but didn’t cost anything! Then there’s the oil filter, what a stupid place to put it, you have to be pretty agile to change it, took another local garage 1 hour to change the oil and filter at a cost of £29 ,the poor guy that did the job said "We wont be doing any more of these at that price". Why do the makers try and make little jobs so complicated, I cannot believe that they want us to take our cars to main dealers every time the slightest little job has to be done!!!

3 star review

I bought my car second hand and can honestly say I didn’t have any problems until THE SUNROOF IMPLODED on me!! This happened as I was travelling down the motorway at 70mph and could have been disastrous!!! Suddenly finding myself covered with glass was not something I expected... nor was there any warning!!!! Having checked on the internet, I have since found that this is NOT an isolated incident and is a recurring problem with Renault cars!!!!! I will NOT be buying another Renault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Renault Modus 1.5 dci 2005

2 star review

It has been a great little car in many aspects. The one huge gripe I have though is that it goes through rear tires like there is no tomorrow. After 60.000 miles and 6 set of tyres I think I will not be buying another. John Greig

Renault Modus 1.5 dCi 106 Grand Dynamique 5dr 2007

5 star review

Brilliantly flexible car that I just love to drive. Extremely spacious for it’s size - I have two teenage boys, both over six foot and they find sitting in the back very comfortable. Very cheap to run and quite stylish.

I’ve been driving my Modus for nearly 2 years and its great - smooth handling, good MPG, loads of headroom and has a nifty double-opening boot! Great!

Renault Modus 2005

5 star review

I love my Modus! I have had it from new and it is quite simply the best car I have ever driven. You can park it easily, the fact that the seats can collapse/move is an added bonus, and you sit nice and high and get good visibility of the road. I also feel very safe in the car and it is so easy to drive. When my lease expires in April 2008, I shall probably end up getting another Modus. Well done Renault!

Renault Modus 1.4 16V Expression

3 star review

Nice compact car with very spacious interior. It’s extremely responsive and therefore very easy to drive although I am going to mark it down regarding visibility as the windscreen pillars are quite chunky. The other downside is the boot space which is a bit mean although you can slide the rear seats forward. Good car but nothing special.
