    Handles well around corners, very nippy when warmed up.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not bad around town, feels under pressure on the motorway.

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    At 23,000 miles ignition coil replaced twice, steering wheel squeaks, gear stick leather cover broke off twice, sunroof rattles, has been repaired three times, stalls in cold weather, overall reliability is appalling.

    Got fed up with Renault telling me again 'this is a common fault with Renault cars especially the Clio's' if this is the case why don't they do something about it. Was surprised by man at reception who worked for Clio admitted he would never buy one!
