Renault 2001 Clio Hatchback

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

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You cannot find a car of this spec for the same price by any other manufacturer. This is an absolute bargain.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Insurance is relatively cheap for the performance, however, fuel consumption is no way near what Renault claim.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    An absolutely brilliant drive, as far as superminis go.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Astonishing performance, as it is a small car with a quite powerful 1.6 engine.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I have had no major problems, however it did fail to start first time once and seemed extremely odd, but the problem has not reoccured.

    Good solid image. Some say it is a female's car, I don't agree.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable indeed. I have done extremely long journeys and short local ones. It is comfortable all round and the seats are amazing.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I wouldn't say it is the best, as I have no alarm. All new Clios in the Dynamique trim have NO alarm as standard. They do however offer an alarm at £300 which is Thatcham Cat 1 approved. I have the standard Cat 2 immobiliser.
