Renault Clio Renaultsport (2001 - 2005) 2.0 16V Cup (182bhp) 3d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That i enjoy hot hatchbacks and like the more sportier vehicle.

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

My friends think its too expensive (but they have cars that are more suited to economy driving) they think it looks good though.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, I feel I need a bigger more sensible car next. (i am a motorcyclist so none of the cars I have driven are as fun as a 1000cc sports bike).

What are you likely to buy next?

BMW 320d or something similar.

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?

August 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

I beleive the price to have been a little steep but the car only had 30000 miles on it so i bought it as more of a car to keep for a while.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Low milage, the cambelt was changed, it's the right colour blue.

What was the dealer like?

Very good, allowed me to test drive the car myself. This enabled me to drive it hard and check all the engine bay over at the side of the road properly.

What's it like to drive?

Amazingly fun, when the mood takes you, in traffic its hard to drive due to a relatively heavy clutch.

What's it like to park?

Ok, the turning lock is ridiculously bad, so sometimes you end up having to correct a couple of times. Visibility is good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, it has been a very reliable car. This includes town driving and long distance motorway driving.

What's most practical about your car?

Honestly it's not a very practical small car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Climate control, its so good just keeping my car at a constant temperature without too much trouble.
