Modus ***Shakes head - destined to have a K11 forever***

[Micrashed]

Does anyone have experience of owning one? I like the Note, but the SWB Modus is more aesthetically pleasing on the eye to me.

Had one a s aourtesy car and travelled to see friends in it. Over 300 miles in a little car went surprisingly easily. Drove very nicely, but there was one thing that did annoy. (Could just have been this one though)

 

Found it impossible to drive with just one window partially down. You had to drop the opposite back window as well the same amount.

If you did not the car would get back pressure almost like pulses in the cabin, that actually hurt your ears after a while.

Could actually be the sign of a well made car as the pressure could not escape, but became quite tiresome.

Father in-law has one. Yep the bloody thing hurts your head and ears when one window is down a tiny bit!! Other than that it's a great wee yoke. Not quick by any means though.

Our Honda Accord does the same thing. Pressure pulses that are annoying/uncomfortable with either or both of the rear windows open. Have to open a front window slightly to stop the effect.

You have a Micra? You've driven a Modus...

The roflcopter would start and not be able to land for quite a while, that's for sure.

Looks like someone has beaten me to it!

 

 

 

Its a Renault

Which seems to me to be a cast iron autoshite seal of approval to buy one.

 

Last thing I had with the diamond badge was a Laguna 1 - twas a nice motor.

[purplebargeken]

i10 does the same thing - gives me a right headache. Modus, interestingly odd. I quite like the look.

[Pillock]

Any modern car I've been in does the window thing. I just thought I had overly sensitive ears to pressure.

[Negative Creep]

Aren't they the ones where you have to reomve the bumper to change the headlight bulbs?

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

We too had one as a courtesy car.  During our custodianship I actually enjoyed driving it - it made me smile, which is unusual for me in any "modern".

 

I did feel as though I was sitting on it rather than in it though.

I just couldn't resist...

 

However, I came to the same conclusion as you did.

 

Best one is that joker going on about ALL RENOZ R ROOBESH, then continues to state that he was very happy with the three he owned.

Also quite commonplace is that someone advises you to spend extra money in order to get thisandthat - on a "money saving experts" forum.

The guy saying to buy a OMGVAG instead finally had me rofling.

 

Now, I just noticed that I haven't given you my advise yet - which is to forget about the Modus and buy an old 'Trelle instead.

I bet you could have led a reasonably happy life without my wisdom, but there you go.

My buggering bastard best mate has bought one of these (well, this actual one) :

 

I are jealous and want a 4x4 - but no way am I spunking 10LARgE on one - think I'll stick to the Modus idea

[Junkman]

A 4X4? Step right this way, sir.
 

 

Also available in a more urban* l00k:

Don't, unless you enjoy paying out £500 a time to get the electronic power steering fixed.

Modus or Disco?

[makum101]

Hired one for a week. quite liked the small but spacious feel. It also brought me much attention at the funeral I drove to in it.

Go on - finish the story. You're an undertaker aren't you? No wonder it drew attention - I'm guessing you had to put the little hatch in the tailgate to use to accommodate the long load.

After trawling eBay looking at 4x4's now (yeah, thanks Ivan and your bloody Land Rover) the Missus asked me

 

"Just what the fuck car do you want - say you had £10,000 to spend on a car - what one car would you buy"

 

And you know what - I havent a fucking clue.

 

I think Im destined to keep the K11 forever - needs welding and shocks for its MOT, I suppose thats cheaper than another car.

Common sense : You have an economical, reliable old banger that you know the faults of. So you're better off keeping it and fixing those faults.

 

Autoshite way : So, you're considering buying that 'barn find' Alfa Romeo Arna that was vandalised in 1992 by being set on fire and thrown into a closed-down communal pool. Seller has just pulled it out of said pool and listed it on the 'bay as a 'straightforward restoration project' with a starting price of £500. Pictures show a pile of molten plastic bits loosely connected by lumps of ferrous oxide. In the background of the pictures, there is a scruffy old caravan, an untaxed, MoT-less LDV beavertail, a Cozy Coupe and at least three rottweilers. 'Well, of course you should bid ! What can possibly go wrong ?'

[Micrashed]

Common sense : stuff

 

Autoshite way : Sensible stuff

 

Ive just emailed someone about a Frontera Sport - looks nice and £600 with nearly a years MOT

[KruJoe]

Come and get Phil's one from Shitefest here in two week's time. It's £100(or more) cheaper!

That's enough to buy at least 20 pieces of prime shite. What's your real estate situation?

[Micrashed]

Ahh, she was being hypothetical - at best I have £1500 to luz on some shiite.
