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

Economy
Value
Went for all of the extra's to up the spec as far as I could. Compared favourably at the time with competitors.
Costs
Good fuel consumption, although it can be a bit hit and miss if the coils start to play up.

Driving
Great car to drive, .....once it starts.
Performance
Very nippy, good acceleration.

Living with it
Reliability
Worst car I have ever owned, terrible starting, and engine cuts out repeatedly and then car will not start. Deal always comes back with no faults found but know of loads of Clio owners with exactly the same problems.
Image
Always people comment on how smart the car looks, the black metallic looks great.
Comfort
Very comfortable car, although not much room in the back for "big" people.

Security and Service
Security
Had no problems, immobilisor seems to deter anybody touching it.
Service
Servicing costs are expensive whilst the car is under warranty. The dealer has had this car back on too many occassions to mention and the problems still exist.
