Renault Clio 1.4 16V Etoile 5d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Very good value for money. Etoile is well equipped with air con and electric sunroof, plus airbags and ABS.
Costs
Seems cheap to own and insure, but main dealer servicing is expensive. Now take car to independent specialist which is half the price of main dealer servicing.

On the road
Driving
An easy, relaxed car to drive. Very refined and quiet and moderate speeds. Some body roll on corners which is typically French.
Performance
Not a fast car but geared for economy. Nippy enough, good torque and returns 45mpg.
