Renault Clio 1.2 3-door Reviews

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 ...

My girlfriend has a clio, an 07 one (the new one) and she also had the old version before. In my opinion, this version doesnt have as much character as the older one, and although it is nice enough inside, very spacious, big boot and drives well, i prefered the old version. I have no idea why they changed it, the older version, although ...

I had this car in 2006, the model ihad was a 1.2 3 door automatic, i found that the car was easy to drive. After i had the car for about six months i noticed that the auto selecter was lacking, so whenever i put it into drive there would be a delay longer than normal. I took it to the renault garage who claimed that it would cost £1200 ...

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 ...

My Clio is now 4 years old and has done 56,000 miles. It is the petrol 1.2 16v Dynamique 3dr version in dark blue. So far nothing major has gone wrong and it has never left me stranded anywhere. I did have to have the sunroof catch replaced when it wasw less than 6 months old and some other stuff replaced when it was about a year old ...

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 ...

My first car was a green 1999 T Reg Renault Clio RN Grande 3 door, it was a great little car, but then 3 weeks later it was written off after being in quite a bad crash, luckily even though i was hit in the drivers side i wasn't hurt at all not even a bruise, so it's definatley well built. It was because of its apprent durability i ...

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 ...

After making a profit on my house I decided to buy something useful instead of spending it on clothes or going out. At the time i had a peugeot 106 and although I like this car i was desperate for power steering and electric locking. After lots of visits to garages and test drives I found the Renualt Clio was the most comfortablist to drive ...

We have had our little Clio 1.2 Grande for about 18 months now, and I must say both my husband and myself think it is fantastic. We bought it second hand from a dealership at a cost of £4000 (3 year old at time) We wanted something cheaper to run as our other car (Rover 400, 2000 reg plate) ate petrol like Homer Simpson with beer. It ...

"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 ...

I've been looking into getting a small car for a while now, and my initial choice was a Clio dCi80 - which I never got to drive, but more of that later. After getting to grips with the obcenely complicated range (with three trim levels in three categories, excluding the engines), I finally decided to go for the dCi80 engine in the ...

My sister bought her Renault Clio 1.2 RT 3-door in july 1999. It was 6 months old, and had done 2,000 miles. It has now done 91,000 miles and absolutely NOTHING has gone wrong with it. The only problems we've had have been 2 nails in the tyres. It's got electric windows/sunroof, ABS, and it's platinum silver. The car is unbelievably ...

OK, just for the record, I do not own a Renault Clio, I do not know anyone who owns one (yet), I have no connection with Renault or their franchises. Now that the disclaimer is over and done with. I want a Clio. I have written reviews on cars in Dooyoo before (Citroen Saxo, Citroen Picasso, Vauxhall Nova). These cars I have ...

You want a seriously cool car with a low insurance rating ? You have got to get the all new Clio 1.2 16v Sport. This model is new for 2001 and is the replacement for the slightly larger capacity 1.4 16v Sport. This baby has got a small 1149cc engine but it's been blown on with the addition of 16v and a sports ...

---------------- About the car ---------------- My fiancé purchased a new shape Clio back in 1999. It is a very pleasing car to look at. We are both very pleased with it. The 1.2i engine that means it qualifies for cheaper road tax now only £105 per year. One point I really like is the middle seat belt in the back is not the ...

My mum has finally chosen a perfect car. All my expectations of the Renault Clio have come true and I have made my mum promise to pass it down to me when I drive. My mum got a basic model but it is still great. With its cheeky looks and nippy speed the Clio is defiantly a town car. The car we had before was a Serena and that done to many ...
