    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Mine has quite a few extras that I must say is impressive for such a small car, but just a shame that they don't always work - make sure you get a warranty you'll need it.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Long service intervals mean pay a lot for a service, high depreciation.

    In 6 months its had, airbag fault, short circuiting, misfiring, replacement ignition coils and now it needs a new gearbox at 27k miles - I'm not impressed, I would not recommend a Clio they are full of faults.
