Renault Clio Hatchback (2001 - 2008) 1.2 16V Dynamique 3d (2002/02) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says I am a low maintenance lady, easy to run and not materialistic, preferring to spend my money on other things like travelling and socialising with friends and family.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it is small and rubbish, but I love it. The 3 door thing bothered a lot of people so I will go for a 5 door next time. I have had colleagues and others make smart remarks to my face about the Clio but I love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Absolutely, lovely small car, very tidy and clean, cheap and easy to run.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Clio but 5 door this time, since the 3 doors upset so many people except myself, since I found it so easy to park and manoever.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,000

When did you buy the car?

February 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

It was slightly on the expensive side for a used car. However, the mileage was low only 20,000 so I felt I got a really good deal, as 5 years on it is still only 80,0000.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I liked the size and colour of it, it appeared cosy and appealing, easy to drive, run and park.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, charming, approachable, very young! It was a salesman working for the company.

What's it like to drive?

A bit bumpy and rattling, but ok overall.

What's it like to park?

Very easy and fast.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes it needed a new heater and radiator system after 4 years.

What's most practical about your car?

Cheap to tax, insure, and easy to park.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

CD player and radio.
