Renault Clio Hatchback 1.2 16V Dynamique 3d (AC) (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I think that it is a case of you get what you pay for, although with this model they do seem to have thought of most things to make it a good car.
Costs
Services are good as they aren't needed for 18,000 miles. Altough all parts are needed to be bought and fitted by Renault i.e. wipers!

On the road
Driving
Lovely drive. Hugs the corners extremely well and is incredibly nippy for a 1.2.
Performance
Nippy little thing for a 1.2, but does tend to loose its oomph from about 60mph+.

Living with it
Reliability
Common faults such as immobiliser doesn't want to work so you can't even start your car, and so many lights have appeared on the dashboard indicating faults (which aren't there) that looks like Blackpool illuminations sometimes!
Image
Lovely looking car both inside and out, although getting very popular now.
Comfort
This car is very comfy, although you do seem to get swung around a little, but the bucket seats seem to keep you in place.

Security and Service
Security
Fine, but fortunately haven't had to test that out yet!
Service
Aftersales service is abismal. Will never buy another Ranault car again.
