anything to say about my new car?

I´m from colombia, the cars in my country are too expensive i think..... i just adquired this 2005 renault symbol, the price was around $13.500 US dollars. what do you think???

i know nothing of these strange cars from other countries. but for a car that's not available int he US (which to me almost always means it's hella ugly), it looks alright.

how about the price?

Doesn't look to bad. As far as the price, what are the specs and options?

the specs are, 1.4 DOHC 16 valves, 98 hp. the only option is the air conditioner.

seems to be in the right range compared to the usa.maybe a little high but depends ALOT on the equipment and features it came with.We can get basic transportation for about $9000. (Korean made)or very low end usa made,but I wouldn't want one of those.

A bit pricey maybe, IMO.

hmmz a lot of renaults driving arround here but haven't seen this one before, i recon the price is ok

no wonder its not in america.

99% of americans cannot survive with less than 200 hp, and more than 20 mpg. for example, my truck has 315hp and gets about 12mpg. all this adds up to $15 per mile, and i wouldn't sell it if i had to.

i heard rumours volkswagen is working on a 40 kilometer per liter car, that will be a real "muscle" car

Yo it's a nice car from france, but the 206 is better

i agreed, here in colombia the 206 is around 16k us dollars, this car the renault symbol is the sedan version of the clio.

I have no idea about the price range in Colombia... and Symbol does not seem to be available in this part of the world.

Over here the 206 and Renault Clio are priced roughly the same and I would have gone for the Peugeot. It just feels more "solid". But that's just a personal opinion.

Both cars are however nippy little runabouts that take you where you want to go with minimum fuss and are also fun to toss around a curvy road if the mood happens to strike you... as long as the engine has at least around 100 hp in it. The smaller engined base models are ok for driving in the city, but lack any resemblence of "oomph" if you want to go on a highway or to really drive instead of cruising around town.

well....that one is not so cool sorry.......guys from u.s this is better one.....

the back....
