Superb value for money.

On the road

Tendency to understeer because of heavy engine, but great in the snow!
Performance
Slow off the mark, but holds 70 all day long.
-
Living with it
Reliability
The engine's bombproof! (129k miles and still a rock). Pay special attention to the Gearbox - Renaults aren't renowned for great boxes.
Image
Bit of a girly car, but inoffensive.
Comfort
Back just fits 3 and no more. Driver's seat tends to wear on the right side of the upright.

Security and Service
Security
Simple to break into, but no one steals a Diesel Clio.
Service
Car's serviced at local garage, not a dealership.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Very solid!
Other
£120 for a 'fuel filter housing', but fitted a Vauxhall one instead. A superb first car, although lack of Power Steering is a nightmare in town.
