Renault Clio 1.2 16v

After buying an old VW Polo on EBAY that I had to scrap my wife and eye decided that we would look for a car for her to drive that would be reliable and easy to repair should the need arise. After much debate we found her a little T reg Clio with 52,000 miles on the clock. One of the prerequisites of buying a replacement was that I could fit in it and be able to drive it comfortably. I am 6ft 3" and need to be able to drive it once or twice a week. COLOUR The first thing that struck us about the car was the general quality of it bearing in mind it was made back in 98. Once you get over the ... more

This review is based on a 2004 Renault Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique. After having an accident in my previous Clio (a 1.6 16v Dynamique) I set out looking for a new car, eventually I found myself (after much looking) the following car… A 2004 Renault Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique in flame red, the colour I really wanted, my previous car had digital climate control and an electric sunroof so I purposefully found a car that also had these features. Being the 2004 model it had the face lifted front end (MK2 PH3) The car I found had the following specification: Performance: Engine - 1.2 16v 4cyl MPI (multipoint ... more

Well my poor old Micra has been replaced, as yet she retains her space on the drive and in my affections but she is no longer my mode of transportation, that honour now falls to a P reg Clio. No less scruffy looking than the Micra it cost me less to buy, and hopefully will last me as well over thenext 12 months as she did before it. The model I have is the 1.2, 3 door Oasis. It has in common with the Micra that it has a sunroof which is by far my preference over air con which to my mine remains an expensive and silly thing to have (unless of course you suffer from asthma or similar due to ... more

Worst auto experience of my life My American drivers licence doesn’t transfer into an English one so after a year I had to take the English test. Once I had past I began shopping around for a car. I had until then been driving my mum’s car. I wanted something economical and little, but still big enough for a child’s car seat and buggy. My mum had a Clio and after looking at a few other cars I thought it was quite a good choice to make. I went to Renault West London to have a test drive of one. The test drive went rather well and it was just like my mum’s model. I spoke to the guy and told him ... more

Let me take you on a journey. In reality it took 10 months, here? depends how fast you read! Clio, Cliiio, I want a Clio and I want one NOW Not one, not two but even more things in it, A nippy runner and a lovely car too! Nicole certainly got it right when she asked Papa to get her a Renault Clio. Renault are not renowned as the sexiest of car manufacturers and, in the past have suffered from the stigma that was born out of cars such as the Renault 5, disgustingly unreliable and certainly not going to improve one's image. Let’s go back to May 2001. I had been looking to replace my ageing ... more
