Renault Clio (91-98) - Review

Review by Parkers on
This efficient, economical and spacious supermini that led the market in the early 1990s. It looks a bit dated these days, but still offers its virtues of good interior space and serves up a driving experience that is above the average. There is an extensive selection of engines with three higher performance models culminating in the Clio Williams, which is one of the finest hot hatches ever built and still commands good money for a clean example. Baccara model is a mini limo with leather upholstery and wood veneer.

Buying used

This car needs to have a well maintained service history to be worth anything. This applies even more so to the high performance models. Williams model is only worth its market value if unmodified. If you intend modifying one say for track use, then you'll be better off picking up a 16v as they're much cheaper in the first place.

Selling

The chic little Clio was always popular with buyers and if well looked after with a service history will be easy to sell. Williams model is something of a classic and commands good money, although subsequent Williams 2 and Williams 3 models did erode its rarity.
