End of an era
« on: October 18, 2023, 01:44:06 PM »
After 29 years of purchasing and owning Honda cars. Including the 2021 and 2022 Jazz Crosstar. I have now moved on to a different manufacturer. Renault !! Specifically the Clio eSpirit Alpine 145 Hybrid.
Couldn’t justify the extra 4K for a Jazz Advance Sport.

I did a similar thing, back to Honda 15 months later.

But good luck, a nice car.

Thanks for that. Slightly more power. More comfortable and none of the mooing revs with foot down. Plus an infotainment system that works properly. Also passenger height adjustable front seat. Navigation with traffic and speed cameras. Oh and of course the price.

Had to google the latest Clio. Funky looking car for sure. Hope you have fun in it.

I've always had a soft spot for Frenchie motors and owned many of them. Had a Laguna and Reggie 5 years ago. Decent motors and way better that the reputation the press give them. Indeed, I remember a mates dad had a Renault 21 1.7 that covered over 1/4 million miles fault free! Very decent motors.

Clio - Papa, Nicole! Oh those adds were brilliant. Nicole....... :D

I like some of Renault's current designs. Very stylish cars.

Enjoy your new car.

They look great. Your forum photo shows a racing driver....looks like the Clio seats will offer you decent lateral support. Nice design to them.

Have you a photo with Nicole in them?  :D

Interesting that while Honda are only developing EV now, Renault have developed and released a new hybrid
Let's be careful out there !

Yes on paper I am very impressed with the Austral.  May be my next car.

I'm perfectly happy with the Jazz single gear electric drive

Mind you, I've been driving autos out of choice since 1971(ish). Boss leant me his Austin 2200 Auto and I was smitten, goodbye flooring a clutch and wafting a stick about
Let's be careful out there !
