Renault Clio 1.2 3-door

Well my poor old Micra has been replaced, as yet she retains her space on the drive and in my affections but she is no longer my mode of transportation, that honour now falls to a P reg Clio. No less scruffy looking than the Micra it cost me less to buy, and hopefully will last me as well over thenext 12 months as she did before it. The model I have is the 1.2, 3 door Oasis. It has in common with the Micra that it has a sunroof which is by far my preference over air con which to my mine remains an expensive and silly thing to have (unless of course you suffer from asthma or similar due to traffic fumes). It used to have remote locking but at some point in its ...  Read the complete review

My son has just turned 17, and so I decided to get him a car to learn to drive in. I didn't want anything too fast or powerful that he couldn't handle, or something too flashy or expensive (he'd simply scrape it/bump it etc). So, after much deliberation, I settled on a pristine 1999 Renault Clio 1.2. The inside is a long distance away from the cars that I'm used to, but it's not unbearable. There are lots of plastics, but, with teh heating on I find it quite cosy, and the seats are very comfortable. Space in the rear is perfectly acceptable, and I can happily fit there (I'm 6') for a journey of a couple of hours if I need to. Wind noise at motorway speeds ...  Read the complete review

"New Shape" Renault Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique, first launched April 2001 ------------------------- I decided to buy a new car in September 2001, after having saved up. I was initially looking for something in the region of £7000, but ended up spending a little more. I wouldn't normally buy a car from new, as we all know about the huge drop in value as soon as you drive out of the showroom. However several factors persuaded me that it isn't such a bad thing to buy a brand new motor. Firstly, every major car manufacturer has started offering three year warranties on new cars in the last couple of years. This is because they had to ...  Read the complete review

So here I am sat in my little car waiting for my little brother to finish school so I can take him home in the rain and I thought it was about time I wrote a review about my little vehicle, as I've had it nearly two months now and we haven't fallen out yet.. YET!! So the little car I'm sat in now you can guess from the product description is a Renault Clio, 1.2i Grande RN.. Yeah yeah I know it sounds like I'm trying to show off but to be honest this little car despite being small has a lot of good things about it and if I'm honest I wouldn't be without it now, despite the dodgy looks.. Anyway I'll get onto those bits later..! When I was ...  Read the complete review

After buying an old VW Polo on EBAY that I had to scrap my wife and eye decided that we would look for a car for her to drive that would be reliable and easy to repair should the need arise. After much debate we found her a little T reg Clio with 52,000 miles on the clock. One of the prerequisites of buying a replacement was that I could fit in it and be able to drive it comfortably. I am 6ft 3" and need to be able to drive it once or twice a week. COLOUR The first thing that struck us about the car was the general quality of it bearing in mind it was made back in 98. Once you get over the fact that it is gold the car ...  Read the complete review
