Renault Clio 1.6 16V 3d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
For £13,000, you expect a new car to be reliable. No chance with this car. 3 breakdowns and a good few niggles in 4 years.
Costs
Not bad. Quite economical until something goes wrong every few months.

On the road
Driving
Great fun to drive with good seats.
Performance
Packs a fair amount of punch (when the engine works).
-
Living with it
Reliability
Only an Alfa could be worse.
Image
Not bad. Turns a few heads, but it's mainly the Neds!
Comfort
Great for the driver and passenger, but rear legroom is a disgrace.
-
Security and Service
Security
Seems ok. Thatcham Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser.
Service
Renault dealers are, without doubt, the least caring or professional of service chains. Their attitude is "we've sold it now, get lost and don't come back!"
