Renault Clio 1.2 RL Panache 3d (1997/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
With R/C A/B and S/R it's good value compared to it's competitors.
Costs
Only cost to date was that one of the central locking plippers had come out of sink with receiver in the car - must be reset by Renault dealer.
-
On the road
Driving
Comfortable ride, cornering too fast in low gear can cause it to go on 3 wheels easily.
Performance
Nippy for a 1.2, happily cruises at 80mph on motorway relatively quitely, even with a full load (backseats down) would happily do 80.

Living with it
Reliability
Have had no problems yet, but have been recommended to only buy one with a decent service history.
Image
Looks quite cool - especially so with 15"" alloys and slightly tinted rear and rear side windows. Looks feminine from the front and masculine from the sides.
Comfort
Seats very comfortable but offer little support in corners - they are almost ""flat"".

Security and Service
Security
R/C with immobiliser - seems to work fine (not been stolen yet!) Be careful - you can only ""de-mobilise"" the car with a R/C plipper - so guard it with your life!
