Welcome to PH

Cracking first car. Mine was a 1987 Peugeot 309 1.1, I loved it to bits.

Look after it, build up some no claims and then you can buy something with a bit more poke.

My first car was an f reg austin maestro van.....

it was pony, and i managed to smash the gearbox to pieces during an emergency start...

Dont bother spending any money on your first car as you WILL break it...

very nice, i have just bought the same model and same year for me and my lad (17) to 'share'. not bad little car tbh, slow as hell but thats good (not for me) want to freshen it up abit, facelifted lights and maybe alloys, getting concerned as my lad as just bought one of them "haynes max power" books!!

Thats alright as a first car mate and dont let anybody tell you otherwise. All you need in your first car is a cd player/ipod connector so that you can play your music and that is it! Then get building your no claims. Although the wheel trims are pretty dreadful so it may be worth looking on ebay etc for the proper ones which look better. Happy motoring buddy.

Looks like a nice little motor, look after him/her and enjoy it.

Dandy first car. Don't bother modifying it though save up, get some no claims and buy something quicker later.

Welcome to the Red, 1.2, 8v, first car, clio, club!

How many miles? And has it had a cambelt replaced? Mine went around 75k miles!

[AlexVTR]

Thats mint condition for a first car mate

Keep it standard (find some clio trims) and it wont lose that much value once youve worked your no claims up !

[sava001006]

thanks for all the comments guys... im currently saving up for some genuine clio wheel trims...

Great little first car!

Very tidy I've always thought Clios are smart looking little cars!

Did you intend to park like that? or are you just getting used to parking?

Nice first car

I think it was intended to give the car a rugged, off roading sort of look that you just don't find with most clios.
