Renault Clio Hatchback 1998-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I managed to get it as a bargain, but now the resale is slightly disappointing.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Economy is pretty pleasing, always above 35mpg. Dealer still a rip-off.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Until I foolishly lost control (self-induced oversteer) it was remarkable.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    0-30 there's often a lack of traction, 30-90 is great, then pull is merely adequate.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems.

    I get verbally abused for driving a "ladies" car, but my friends are probably just envious.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I seem to spend all my time on long journeys changing the steering wheel and seat position but usually find a position for every occasion.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Vary dealer to dealer. Pandy is excellent.
