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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good amount of equipment, far more so than on a similar-priced Ford Fiesta (Remote central locking, steering-mounted radio controls, electric-sunroof, electric wing-mirrors).

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable fuel-economy unless driven hard.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very pleasant car to drive, smooth ride and good handling.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very nippy car - quick off the mark and handles high-speed motorway runs easily. Copes well with hills, even with four people inside.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No problems other than an ignition coil that had to be replaced - not a difficult job and something that it seems you have to accept on new Clios.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good looking car that attracts positive comments from the majority of people. Suitable for all ages and genders even though they are a little common on the roads.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfortable car, more so than many others I sit in on a regular basis. Comfortable for an extended-journey.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good alarm and immobiliser. Doors can be set to automatically lock themselves when you drive-away, a good security option to prevent carjacking.
