Renault Clio Hatchback 1.2 16V Dynamique 3d (2002/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought second hand, and considering the kit you can't complain. Nothing else in this price range has alloys, spoiler, fogs, cd, bucket seats etc.
Costs
I expect repairs would be expensive, but running costs are good. 45mpg easy on the motorway, 38 round town. Not cost me a penny otherwise in 5 months.

Driving
Handles well, likes taking corners. Ride a little bumpy but definitely fun to drive.
Performance
No sportscar but for a 1.2 it is excellent. Loves the motorway, holds its own and then some 110mph possible.

Reliability
Can't complain so far. Electrical warning light came on once then went off!
Image
""Girly"" car, but customised mine with neons, lexus lights, decals, harness pads etc! Looks good. Spoiler should be bigger.
Comfort
Driving position not the best but any Clio buyer should already know that! Drivers seat poorly fitted - the back moves foward and back! Bucket seats are nice.

Security and Service
Security
Alloys have good locks. Remote central locking but if someone wanted it they would probably get it.
Service
Tried renault dealer. Shocking, con artists. Bought from excellent independent dealer.
