Renault Clio Hatchback 1991-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Has lost almost no value in a year.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    New exhaust and rear tyres were cheap. Very good fuel economy.

  • On the road

    Driving

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Nice and smooth, but far too much body roll. Lots of understeer and sliding if you push it.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quite perky for a 1.2 around town. A bit frustrating on the motorway, though.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Exhaust fell off because it was rusty, but has always started perfectly.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Much better image than the other superminis. Still looks quite fresh.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bigger than most of its competitors. Seats aren't bad, even for a six footer. Good smooth ride.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Has an immobiliser, but I doubt it'd be too hard to steal. No central locking (have forgotten to do them all sometimes).
