Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
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
Long service intervals mean pay a lot for a service, high depreciation.

Impressive can keep up with the biggest of cars.

Living with it
Reliability
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.

Used to be cool, now its just common.
Comfort
Ok, good around town but not motorways get pains form awkward seating position.

Security
Cat 1 alarm as standard can't really complain.
Service
I took the car to Sunwin Renault in Derby, their sales and service staff are rude and are unwilling towards helping you also they've had my car for nearly two weeks and refused me a courtesy car.
