Renault Clio Hatchback (2001 - 2008) 1.2 Authentique 3d (2005/05) Owner Review

That I'm cheap. Looks nice in White but I fear it will look worse than other colours the older it gets.

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

They mostly like it. Although just don't get in the back. Very tight for adults.

Yes, because its simple, cheap motoring and has been , touch wood, a reliable little runabout.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap, looks good

What was the dealer like?

Dealer very good, always good with services and call to check up on the car.

What's it like to drive?

Nice little car to throw around. Engine is a little noisy and sounds rough. I have driven the 16v version and it is much more refined.

What's it like to park?

Easy peasy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Surprisingly not much for a French car. One headlight blew and wiped out all electrics in the car which was a little strange but fixed with a new bulb. Throttle cable snapped in the bitter cold we had recently.

What's most practical about your car?

Not much really. Boot lip is rather high which makes getting the dog in a bit annoying. Quite good load area with seats flat.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Its a Authentique aka the cheap one so there aren't any.
