Renault Clio Renaultsport (2006 - 2012) 2.0 16V RenaultSport (200bhp) 3d (2012/12) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I would hope it says a car enthusiast who just enjoys experiencing a car rather than just driving it from A to B.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Looks impressive. Always shocked that there is a 2.0 engine under the bonnet. Slight hesitation with the brand and quality reputation.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would but only as a weekend/track car.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something with a softer ride but equivalent poke. No doubt I'll enjoy it but will only further appreciate the qualities this little Renault possesses.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£19,500

When did you buy the car?

May 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good level of discount and attractive finance deals. Can't beat 0%!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always wanted to own a Renaultsport.

What was the dealer like?

Dealer was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process.

What's it like to drive?

In essence this dominates the whole experience of the car. I encourage any car enthusiast to drive one of these. Fantastic handling and composure. The ride is naturally very firm and can be tiresome after long journeys, but given the price you'd be hard pushed to have more fun in a more expensive car.

What's it like to park?

Given the size, pretty easy. Even with no rear parking sensors I never struggle to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

So far, nothing. Many of the material, as expected, are quite low quality however the car seems well put together.

What's most practical about your car?

Keyless entry and go.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Recaro seats.
