York, England – Automobile patrons in america haven't been capable of purchase new French vehicles because the final Renault/Eagle Medallions have been bought in 1989, which meant I needed to go throughout the Atlantic to search out it. Junkyard Scrapyards (as they name them right here) with numerous Citroëns, Renaults, and Peugeots in inventory (although I discover the occasional Mexican-market French machine in Colorado's automobile graveyards). From the identical U-Pull-It in York, England that introduced us the Peugeot 307 CC some time again, right here's a small-but-huge lengthy hatchback that was forcibly discontinued on the age of 14.
The Modus was produced for the 2005 to 2012 mannequin years, and was primarily an extended model of the Renault Clio of the identical technology.
It was on the identical Renault-Nissan platform because the Cub and Juke, making it additionally a cousin of the Leaf.
It has a 1.6-litre petrol engine, which is rated at 111 horsepower.
It seems that a four-speed automated transmission was necessary with UK-market 2010 Moduses geared up with the 1.6 engine; A five-speed handbook was commonplace tools in vehicles with the 1.1-litre petrol-burner or 1.5-litre diesel. The petrol/automated mixture is a rarity for European-market financial system vehicles of this period.
When you wished a Modus with the eCO² label, you couldn't get the 1.6 engine.
The 2010 Modus for Nice Britain got here in two trim ranges: Expression and Dynamic. It’s the latter variant, which comes with 16″ alloy wheels, cruise management, “Lux Carbon” upholstery and an improved audio system.
Regardless of weighing below 2,400 kilos, this automobile has a formidable quantity of inside house.
You may open the complete hatch or simply the small entry panel on high of the bumper.
Why is it right here? U-Pull-It says it arrived with harm to their entrance finish and 90,027 miles on the odometer.
Since used automobile patrons throughout the Channel don’t want right-hand drive vehicles, British-market French financial system vehicles promote low-cost. This Sprinter at U-Pull-It stood out with a £695 price ticket and a not-so-scary MOT historical past, and I doubt they'll take much less.
Mini-MPV with intelligent little boot-shoot.
The motion by no means stops in a Modus-equipped office.
