Renault Clio 1.2 RL 3d (96) (1997/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Generally good value.
Costs
Not bad overall. Good MPG whether around town or on a longer run. Fairly cheap insurance (not that ANY car is particularly cheap to insure these days!). Franchised servicing pricey.

On the road
Driving
A pleasant car to drive for most of the time, but AVOID non-PAS cars for town driving - hard work!
Performance
No complaints considering engine size. Just what you'd expect. It's not a V8, after all.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Haven't had a problem in four years, but I'm a great believer in adhering strictly to servicing and maintenance schedules.
Image
Certainly plenty on the roads.
Comfort
Comfortable for me (5' 9"), but taller passengers have been less impressed. Numerous long journeys have been completed without major aches or pains!

Security and Service
Security
So far so good - immobiliser as standard.

Other
Brakes tend to accumulate brake dust - this causes a 'scraping' noise, not unlike worn pads.
