Renault Clio Hatchback 1.4 16V Dynamique 3d (AC) (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Loads of extras compared to other cars but most are not worth it. Rain sensitive wipers, light sensitive lights - neither work well.
Costs
A lot of car for your money, but not as good as that might seem (see above). Depreciation is big - nearly £4000 trade in after 6 months!!!

On the road
Driving
Overall not bad, but the clutch is a complete nightmare! I've never stalled a car so much in my life. Sports suspension makes ride a little harsh at times. Clutch is heavy too which makes crawling around town in the rush hour hard on the legs.
Performance
Overall, very dissapointed. Steering doesn't feel right, I've mentioned the clutch! Drives quite well on motorways. Sunroof rattle drives me insane though.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from the stuff that was rubbish from the start - nothing to report at 14 months.

Bit of a girls car (it was all I could afford at the time)
Comfort
Not bad for modest journey lengths, but back and leg ach creep in over 150 miles ish.

Security and Service
Security
No idea as yet - thankfully. Can easily be unlocked by accident with the remote if left in your pocket.
Service
Not great but not terrible. I expected more.
