Other Renault Clio (2001 - 2008) models:

  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Practical and leaves me the time to work on my other cars as this one is so new and theoretically at least, shouldn't need anything in the near future.

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

    All like it although one or two wonder why I bought a 'foreign' car!!! Which one isn't these days?

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    This was the last of the Clio II so they're no longer available. Don't like the new shape - it's too big for a small car.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Too early to say as I've only had this one a few months and with a three year warranty, I won't be looking for a while yet anyway.

    Price and warranty backup

    What was the dealer like?

    Friendly and efficient. The car came in two weeks early.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Ideal town or medium distance runabout but loses out a little on long inclines. Comfortable and everyting is to hand.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy. You can see the front corners and the back end drops straight down from the window so judging distance is easy.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nope, other than a chip in the front screen but that was nothing to do with the car.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Interior size is deceptively spacious. Nice, square load area with the back seat down.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Has to be the air conditioning on those hot summer days. Whenever we get them.
