The market for small cars has changed beyond recognition in the last few years. Time was when you either bought a supermini or a family hatch. Those were your sole realistic choices. Then strange city cars started filtering in from Japan at one end of the market and ever smaller MPV-style vehicles assaulted the family hatches at the other end. Nowadays, if you're shopping for a small car you can get something that offers the advantages of both these vehicle types, wrapped up in a smartly-styled body. Renault's Modus is just such a vehicle, one that proved an instant hit and which is available in significant numbers in the used arena.
History
The UK unveiling of the Modus was, it has to be said, an occasion steeped in high dudgeon. The organisers of the British Motor Show had billed the Modus as their ace card for the 2004 event, a genuine world exclusive but Renault rather skunked them by unveiling it at the Madrid show the week earlier. The Spanish connection is opposite, as the Modus is built in Valladolid, just up the A6 from Madrid. Renault used the rather grandly titled Alliance Platform B (which to you and I is the Nissan Micra chassis) as the basis for the Modus.
The Modus was an extremely important vehicle for Renault. Fully one-third of all cars sold in Europe hail from the small car segment and back in 2004, with both the Clio and Twingo models looking rather old, Renault needed a fresh challenger. Only available in five-door guise, the Modus looked to make a convincing fist of things, especially when it comes to the vital 'first five seconds' the period of time in which the majority of car sales are either won or lost. Renault had access to a whole array of decent powerplants, had established their five-star safety credentials before almost any other manufacturer got on board and priced the Modus keenly. It couldn't fail. It didn't. The basic proposition has remained unchanged since launch with the addition of Oasis and Maxim special editions in summer 2005.
A mild facelift in the summer of 2006 brought clear lens light clusters front and rear. Door mirrors were also introduced that featured integrated indicator lights and all models received body-coloured bumpers. By this stage, the Quickshift5 clutchless gearbox was available on the dCi 86 diesel engine.

godlike of a car.... perhaps the best in automotive history!

[@michaelcliffe562]

Rustproofing is excellent on these cars and I've had one for four years, now has 130000 miles on it and still drives very well. Mantainance is a nightmare on these though unfortunatly!
