Renault Clio Hatchback 1.2 Authentique 3d (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Basic spec model, with plenty of spec.
Costs
Pushed hard or loaded up, it drinks petrol, servicing isn't cheap either.
-
On the road
Driving
Softly sprung, so good in town, but on the open road gets a bit barge like, fun on the limit though, even if you aren't going very fast.
Performance
Considering it's a 1.2 8v it's eager enough.
-
Living with it
Reliability
24k miles, had a new washer bottle (apparently I used cheap screenwash!!) one broken spring, passenger seat has been repaired twice.
Image
Quite a girly looking car, but looks alright, could do with a set of alloys.
Comfort
Quiet, fairly smooth, soaks up the bumps.

Security and Service
Security
It's still in the car park.
Service
Reluctant, argumentative, expensive, cheeky - however it was perfect when it was a Renault UK outlet.
