Review of Renault Clio 1.4

My first car was, or more specifically, is an L-Reg Clio 1.4 RT, second hand, and although it does have it's ups and downs, like any hatchback does, it is predominantly a good drive. Comfort - this is one of the first things you can analyse from a car, and the Clio comes out well. It's seat patterning appears to be from the Picasso sketchbook (not that that hinders the comfort mind!), but the seats are shaped perfectly and produce optimum comfort ...
...always a touchy subject with hatchbacks, due to the simple reason being the lack of it! Although the front seats are adjustable, and therefore the space for those two in the car is fine, if people are in any of the rear three seats, particular grown-ups, they mind find it uncomfortable, and be mighty relieved when the journey is over! Although in all honesty, there are worse options for space in the hatchback market, so I'll try not to discredit ...

Review of Renault Clio 1.4

...owner a 1.4, 5 door Renault Clio for almost a year now and had been impressed with a car. As an accountant I know not to buy a brand new car and bought my W reg car when it had just passed its first birthday. Of course I benefited from the fact that the car had depreciated by about 25% on the original purchase price of approximately £10,000 in that short spell. What I didn't realise was why the previous owner had decided to place the car in part ...
...valves had stopped working (yes Renault dictates that you instead have to buy the whole works at a cost of around £500 (minimum)). * and now low and behold it needs a new can shaft only 4 months later. * the fact that you cannot get the running specifications of the car unless you go to a Renault dealer (and even the garage it originally came from can't find them!) SUMMARY All in all, this was one of the best cars that I had driven in the 'super ...

Review of Renault Clio 1.4

Summary The L-reg clio 1.4 RT was purchased from a friend of friend who I trusted for £500. Averaged size hatchback, 1.4 so nippy unless laiden with 3+ passengers/luggage. Good fuel consumption, up to 350miles per fuel tank. Generally a good little car. Background I brought this car as a cheap replacement for my first run-around. The clio is comfortable car for short/medium journeys, seat suck u in (with their funky patterns) and create a good ...
...hot and car interior heating is below satisfactory. Comfort The space is a compromise between front and back seats, uless a v short legged family (or children), either the driver or passenger behind the driver has limited leg room. Would not recommend having 5 people in the car, as performance is limited and space is non-existant. Having more than 3 grown up people in the car will lead to discomfort and some loss of acceleration etc. But that is ...

Review of Renault Clio 1.4

I bought this car, a 1.4 s in 2000, being of slightly younger years I was drawn to the car with its perky 1400 engine coupled with group 4 insurance with a spec of kit which includes white dials, alloys, fogs and sporty seats, sounds good doesnt it, and generally it is! Coming up towards the 350000 miles mark its still as nippy as it ever was, in fact it has bedded in nicely to handle as well as my K reg 1.4RT i had previously. Servicing has been ...
...blade replacements being of greatest cost. Its not all good though, the odd wheel spin was quickly kept in check after replacing two front tyres - it seems the tyre size is very rare and so therefore quite expensive - expect to pay anything from 50 to 75 pounds each, not particularly welcome on a car this size. Space is also at a premium, ok- i know if i wanted space i should have bought a laguna!... if you're tall you'll find enough headroom by ...

Review of Renault Clio 1.4

I bought this car 5 years ago, it was a good price and at the time of buying I was really impressed. It looks nice, although I think it's more suited to females, than males (unless you have the Clio Williams, then that is more masculine!) Features Central locking Dual airbags Engine Immobiliser Drivers seat height adjuster 3 seatbelts in the back that are all over the shoulder - yes including the middle Isofix child safety mount system Electronic ...
...remote control on the steering wheel Cigarette/cigar lighter and ashtray (ashtray can double up as a small storage tray - which I use as) Power assisted steering ABS Electric windows Tool kit with spare wheel I am happy with my car, haven't had any problems apart from when my electric window wouldn't go up, but it was cheap enough to fix at a local garage. (About £50) The rearview isn't all that great, as it's smaller, however I think it seemed ...
