Renault Clio 1.4 5-door

I have owned the 2001 model of this car now for 2 years with my NAN being the only previous owner. Best part about the car is its fuel economy and for the most part reliability. There is also ample amounts of boot space. Fuel economy: I drive the petrol version and a single tank costs under £30 which is enough to get me from the outskirts of London to Swansea in South Wales and back (just). The diesel version has one of the best fuel economies of any car in its class. Handling: The Clio is a nice little car and comes with decent handling. I only have the peughot 306, mercades a class and toyota yaris to compare it too but apart ...  Read the complete review

I have been the proud owner a 1.4, 5 door Renault Clio for six months now and have never been so impressed with a car. As an accountant I know not to buy a brand new car and bought my W reg car when it had just passed its first birthday. Of course I benefited from the fact that the car had depreciated by about 25% on the original purchase price of approximately £10,000 in that short spell. SAFETY FEATURES * both the driver and passenger have airbags fitted as standard * the rear seat has three proper seatbelts - the middle belt is not just a lap belt * it has anti-locking breaks SECURITY FEATURES * the car comes fitted with ...  Read the complete review

Having learnt for my driving test in the Renault Clio I noticed several points about it. The acceleration is very quick for a small(ish) engine. There is no problem in the car coping at high speeds, and it was a generally comfy ride. The power steering means there was little work to do, even in the tightest of turns and that can only be an advantage as it saves your arms. It is also hard to find someone who doesn't like the look of the Clio and so you won't get embarrased when driving in front of your friends. What I didn't like about the car is the clutch is far from the best of the cars I have driven. It feels to ridgid, doesn't move smoothly ...  Read the complete review

Ive owned my Clio now for just over one year, and overall Im pleased with the car. The cars first service was around £100 which wasnt bad considering I had done just under 14000miles (I'm sure Renault will make up for it on the next service!) The running costs are not bad: I expect to get around 350miles to a full tank, which costs around £35. The performance is not amazing but it is smooth, Ive had Clio courtesy cars which have been considerably quicker then my own. The car is comfortable and well equiped. I would recommend the Clio to a friend, but warn them to stay away from lamp-posts as they seem to crumple quite ...  Read the complete review
