Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for money.
Costs
Main dealer servicing is expensive. Very cheap to run otherwise with very few replacement (having owned 2 Clios).

On the road
Driving
Easy to live with and drive. Rolls a bit and is not a sports car!
Performance
Fairly good with plenty of torque for hills but not a performance car. Seems geared for economy.
-
Living with it
Reliability
First class after 5 years. Only tyres and wiper blades replaced in 35k so few complaints (same on previous Clio).
Image
Chic (according to a work colleague). Endearing little car and still looks modern and classless.
Comfort
Smooth ride, very quiet engines and very comfortable front seats. Rear seating is flat and benchlike.
-
Security and Service
Security
Good. Comes with alarm and immobiliser which makes insurance reasonable.
Service
Expensive servicing and dealers not outstanding either.Find a good independent for servicing.
