Bidon sur le mouillé!

Jeep & reliability are two different planets here in Oz. I guess reliability of the Grenadier is yet to be established, not too many on the roads or tracks of Western Australia.

Used logan for ten years done 230000 km now Renault captur from 2018 done 800000 km ❤

This guy is one of the worst car reviewers I have ever seen! He is very numb ! It feels a potato is takling about the Ferrari! Poor car that you are driving!

Come on Autocar! You should be able to do better than this. Everything the presenter said was lost because of the dreadful audio quality. I could hardly even hear the exhaust note of the car. D- COULD DO BETER

As a native English speaker, I needed captions to understand what you were saying. Your sentences are very truncated in delivery.

Wow! This guy can barley string a sentence together, terrible boring review!

Terrible audio on so many videos these days

If its not able to carry a ton then its not vat reclaimable I believe. Would the chassis cab carry a ton?

To summarise, it's an expensive heap of nonsense. Nobody is going to choose this over a Hilux... which incidentally, can actually tow actual stuff.

I REFUSE to watch this with all the adds....

Love the concept of this vehicle but the real proof of this vehicle is is it reliable and will be long lasting. If so it will be a winner even at it’s cost.

Would choose land cruiser 70 any day

Dream car One day ❤

Why don’t you show us one of the most important thing in double cab pickup, the back seat space.

I won’t buy it purely because of the steering, it needs rack and pinion.

These are exotic cars , exotic cars are very expensive specially the high end ones .

Snoooze. I'm amazed at how this team can make any vehicle seem boring. Where's your passion?

I suppose these types of things hold some appeal, but generally they look quite stupid.

Glad that JR the Brexiteer made the decision to move production to France. At least Welsh workers and the UK taxpayer won’t have lost out when Ineos Grenadier go bust.

There is no way that a Clio is better than Fabia / I20 / Polo / Ibiza ... how can you do a test like these without even mentioning them ? not very professional.

Looks like a gladiator, what a bunch of copycats

i love the new swift!

Not UK made vehicle as was suppose to be.

A very niche vehicle, and what Autocar failed to mention is that due to the poor payload it will be extremely difficult for businesses to claim the vat back! Thats a massive handicap price wise! You should be able to buy 2 ,or even 3 other pickups for the same price as one quartermaster....and those pickup will carry 250kg more than the inneos😢

it has one big drawback, het has an bmw engine en they do not last better buy an toyota mercedes g

The issue with these is that the radiator comes down below the front bumper so it fills with mud or grass seeds.

Small? Only the Space Star, Kia and Hyundai are small cars. The B segment is the new A segment? An X5 is a small SUV?

Is there any connection to the Defender, or is it purely unashamedly a styling copycat?

Good honest review. You pay for the ethos. I am in a strange position where I had direct visibil8ty of the only 1 in the UK at one point.

To whoever in the audio pipeline made the necessary changes, thank you! First video in a while that has sounded good. Great review as always.

Autocar need to understand the difference between written form, audience and general RUclips engagement! Who is telling them they are doing well?! Using these old school editors/ writers is not getting them views for the RUclips generation sadly - they have been slow to adapt and deserve this fall in market share😢

I would buy it only if they take away that horrible piece of grey plastic on the outside of the door

I like it. Too bad its not available in the states

i fell asleep twice while watching this

Shitty canned tick tick tick thump thump music makes me sick. Crap video except for the scenery.

I fell asleep

Here’s my take on the Clio, we’ve got the mk4, and a 24-year-old mk2 (phase 1 D7f engine, which is to say, 8 valves and a friendlier front grille). The tce 90, the mk4, has never had a month when there wasn’t something wrong with it. Not to say it doesn’t have its great points, and it’s much longer legs than the older, smaller Clio mk2, so nicer on the motorway. But, you know how as you get older, you talk to older friends and they are carrying a couple of ailments that take forever to sort, if they ever do? Our Clio 4 was bought brand new in 2015 in cash/no loan, and was a big investment for my spouse at the time. Immediately I spotted the front door curve nearside, didn’t match the front wing curve, where they met at the hinge end…no big deal, if my spouse didn’t notice I wasn;t gonna mention it, nonetheless, it’s a fault. The number plate at the front was poorly attached. They just needed to gently bend it to the necessary curve, and use better sticky-tab glue pads. The rear one wasn’t on straight. I did the necessary, cutting my hands because for some reason, the aluminium backing plate was cut rough as a dog. This I understand to be a dealer task, so that’s down to them, but again, it’s a fault. So far, so little though, these are minor. At month 3, it’s summer properly, and I notice coolant needs added. It’s low in the reservoir. I assumed this was a service thing, and it wasn;t really losing coolant, it was just I was seeing it when it was particularly warm or cold. Anyway, by month 6 it was clear it was definitely losing coolant…and because I didn’t want to either burst my wife’s car-bubble, or have the experience of hokey-cokey with the dealer over a weird/persistent/intermittent fault, I solidly kept this secret to myself. I resolved, it would only be mentioned, when it became solvable without losing use of the car and inconveniently taking it back and forth to a dealer, multiple times. This experience, is EXACTLY what some people reporting the same fault with either Captur cars, or the Clio 4, on ‘Honest John’ online, were having. Weeks at a time without the car, money being requested despite it being a clear warranty claim, etc. Dunno what it is, it just goes on as you;d expect. Finally, I gave in about year 4. It was now needing topped up every week or less with coolant, which made me conclude, it was now going to leave a trail big enough to have it tracked down…and so it was. Went to Howarth’s garage in Mirfield and they tracked it to a plastic moulding buried under this that and the other, deep in the bowels of the engine bay, they’d found crystals suggestive of coolant being evaporated off. Fixed it with a new plastic moulding and gasket or whatever. I played this correctly. Others writing in, to Honest John, confirmed what would have happened. This stuff, can be milked for years by a stupid or unscrupulous dealer. They’ll say they’ve fixed it, but they don’t care. None of the disaster stories resulted in a fix by replacing the moulding Howarth’s did. We on the other hand, got it fixed on day 3 the garage had it, and there was no to-ing and fro-ing for months or years over it. We lost the car for just 3 days, that’s a win for this fault. This part, simply shouldn’t be plastic, I suspect, it gets a lot of heat deep down there, in a 900cc turbocharged engine. Anyway, that was 4 years ago. What next, well it’s suspension I think. On the old Clio, even the mk2 and mk3, they use a type of front subframe that is solidly connected to the front nose grille of the car by an inverted ‘U’ bracket. In the mk4/tce 90 since 2014, they eliminated that big bracket, opting for a high-tensile bolt of the sort normally found on cylinder heads. The idea must be, this exerts so much compression on the various parts, somehow, it doesn’t need a ‘U’ bracket. But it doesn’t actually firmly attach the front to the subframe. It’s held together by French spit and garlic. I literally don’t understand how this arrangement works. And, it’s got two tasks you will encounter as an amateur, where fixing the suspension or replacing parts, that require the detaching of this subframe-to-front section, will catch you out. One, the high-tensile bolt has a fancy, tiny head on it. It’s an E16 head, or ‘external torx’ size 16. It looks like a 13mm socket might do it - don’t try it, you’ll round things off then be unable to tighten it properly on reassembly. It’s a surprise, is my point. My work stopped on Friday night and the local parts store had no such socket types. This, blocked me doing the job, and i hadda finish up then we spent hundreds having the garage redo it all. The fact it was now easier as I’d de-seized everything, doesn’t make it cheaper. Renault got me good, I’d rather have had an old ugly ‘U’ bracket. But that’s not the worst bit - the front subframe is gagging to be jacked up near the wheel - however, if you do this, this hi-tension bolt is under a lot of strain and as SOON as you get it out, the subframe suddenly will bend upwards under the weight of the car. Like I say, Renault really got me. But now, I know these wheezes and have the necessary weird tools and won’t be fooled by jacking up at the wrong point, so I should be ok with this job the next time? I’m not persuaded. And, the lower control arm/wishbone fitted last year, at that MOT, failed this year’s MOT also. This, means our roads in the UK have the better of this vehicle’s suspension. This is a long time, doing all this, it’s occurring over a period of years, and that out-of-whack front curved wing, is still noticeably wonky now, plainly a manufacturing defect, but Renault wouldn’t fix it as such, we know this. The suspension plainly now is going to be getting parts replaced annually or bi-annually, so that inspires no confidence. £500 MOTs are so-so when the car is worth over ten grand. Down at half that, you think twice…oh but hold on I haven’t mentioned the clutch… …the clutch which actually developed that fault many dual-mass flywheels have, the damping grease gets lost from the springs in the clutch-plate, or wherever these are. Now you have a juddering clutch/take-up. The driver’s ‘fix’ is to rev the engine like a learner, and wear the clutch out faster, but it avoids most of the backlashing slop/judder when setting off. So, that’s been around since before the coolant leak got fixed…you see what I mean, about this car carrying ailments around non-stop, unbroken, its whole life? 9 years now. I have called it a bag of sh!t on more than one occasion. The overall impact is a feeling of impending disaster, of the manufacturer warranty being useless in practice, which also means really that service pack of three grand my wife paid, wasn’t worth jack either, because you only get that, to make the Renault warranty valid. I’d never get another service pack. So, what would make it right, as the car sits on the drive now after almost ten years of troublesome driving? There’s a clunk from the side that had the hi-tensile bolt issue, and the garage didn’t fit a new bolt, so it remains. That’s almost a thousand pounds and 3 years of clunking, it is never going away. The clutch judder, well, we’ll wait til the clutch wears out, and it’s not worth biting the bullet at 70k miles, it;s £500 to over a grand, depending who does the job. This is clearly a manufacturing defect also, but again you know Renault would never agree to fix it. The water bottle for the scoosher, has broken one of its mountings, I used a wooden block and a stainless steel screw to bolster it, so it’s not the thing clunking, but this ought not to break. It’s flimsy. Taken in any one singular aspect, you can make a case for how well-made the Clio mk4 tce 90 is. But the trouble is, our overall experience is of a car that has carried serious deal-breaking ailments since day one. Manufacturing defects that remain to this day because we cannot afford a grand or more to fix them, and Renault wouldn’t dream of helping out. £14,000 for the car, and £3,000 of wasted money for servicing to make the rubbish shirt warranty be valid. Absolutely awful. I just couldn’t buy one of these things. I made the mistake of fixing some stuff myself, and that’s made it affordable - wish I hadn’t, we’d have gotten rid sooner before the clutch exploded with grease, losing it’s damping of rotational backlash on setting-off. In other words, I kept my wife happy by not letting her in on, all the serious issues that plagued this car from day one. I strongly feel there’s more…there was a broken spring, but even the robust mk2 had that, it’s our rotten roads…I replaced the plugs with iridium, that helped as usual keep maintenance down…that’s probably it. Oh, inherently it’s got terrible torque low-down, it really needs a Honda-style electric motor slapped on the end of the three-cylinder engine, and a few kg of hybrid battery somewhere, but this seems to be another ten grand?! Phfft, as the French would say…but I love the little mk2, which was an altogether great experience! Oh, and the mpg is pretty awful. The mk2 gets 44mpg max, and drops to as low as 35mpg in the worst conditions (eg lots of cold-engine, 2-mile journeys)…the mk4 gets er, 44 mog max, and as low as 36mpg in the worst conditions - but it is a lot faster, and bigger/heavier of course. Oh, back-seat passengers, it’s an awful ride. Dunno, I just haven’t taken to it…I love the electric steering?! Not great for me, good-looking car though. I’d sell it or something a lot more final…!

Mazda 2-way better then both of them

Give a LHD car because the RHD one has a badly compromised footwell.

The Swift has mind blowingly low fuel consumption... Clio 1.5 dCi used to have that low consumption back in the days. But diesel is no more...

Do they maltreat their design team, because that exterior design still looks whack sorry!

🏁

And of course an easy, reliable 200+ hp on the table with some minor software tuning and bolt on parts

Thought it was a Citroen c3 at the start

Doug and Will from What Car? also reviewed the Swift against the New MG3 😊

when 6 motoring channels do a launch within 30 minutes I go to Autocar and Catchpole (TopGear has no cred). But you guys must do something about your continuing microphone problems.

Hey @NachoVideo Could do with some Nacho love for some Lloydy!

Cracking little car. I had a Honda Jazz, that was equally practical and pointy, but not as refined. I suspect the Swift would be a bit more reliable, but the Clio will be a more plush companion.
