    3 Stars Nicole and Papa didn’t dream this one up! 06/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to drive and comfortable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Reliability questionable and paintwork soft and thin!

    Well we wanted a new “super mini” and with all the gadgets and that’s when the problems started! We ordered the car from Renault London on the A40 who are owned by Renault anyway. Since we wanted an automatic and satellite navigation, air conditioning, alloy wheels, golden yellow metallic and a sunroof we expected a factory order so that wasn’t a surprise. However having indicated 8 – 10 weeks delivery when the week came, NO car? What was the reason, remembering that all the way through we had checked the progress on our order with Renault London who linked to the factory manufacturing ... more

    4 Stars Clio 1.4 03/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very comfortable & v.good drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Reliability

    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 for the driver and passengers Space - this is always a touchy subject with hatchbacks, due to the simple reason being the lack of it! Although the ... more

    3 Stars A Little Car With Not So Much Vroom 14/02/2002
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Low road tax, good around town and on the motorway

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Spare tyre really is only for emergencies

    I had been the proud 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 exchange for a Vauxhall. Unfortunately it seems that he discovered the unreliability of the car quicker than I did. It still does ... more

    4 Stars Renault Cleo L reg 1995, great little run around 11/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, efficient and relatively nippy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages small, under-powered when laden

    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 driving position. However on long (3+ hours) journeys seat become hot and car interior heating is below satisfactory. Comfort The space is a compromise ... more

    5 Stars A fantastic hatchback 17/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great price, looks, functionality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I bought this car second hand, less than a year old with 6,000 miles on the clock from a Renault dealer for a fantastic price, and what a car! The passenger space is fantastic; you can quite easily fit five adults in without any problems, and with a huge boot plenty of cases as well. The drivers seat feels quite high which gives you a great all round view, however due to the shape of the car it is practically impossible to see the front of the car, and judging the back is even harder due to its large rear! I have the dynamique S version which has the alloy wheels and tinted windows which look ... more

    3 Stars Meet the New Clio, same as the old Clio? 07/03/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Slick looks, Well equipped, great handling

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow, with some real problems

    I recently got a new Clio as a hire car while my own car was in for a clutch replacement. While it was only for ten days, I drove it everyday and thought I might share my view of it. Postives = The car is lovely to drive, the steering is poised and the car handles incredibly smoothly, exactly what you would expect from a Renault. The interior is very up to date, and all the controls for radio, air con etc were all easy to reach and well positioned. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of headroom as well as room in the back. Previous to this I had always thought the new clio was big ... more

    4 Stars Few niggles in an otherwise great little car 09/03/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Handles itself well in and out of town, cheap insurance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of Space, Unusual tyre size,

    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 cheap and minor with the usual oil change and wiper blade replacements being of greatest cost. Its not all good though, the odd wheel spin was ... more

    5 Stars Renault Clio Alize 1.4 - 3 door 22/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable Nippy Compact

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small in the back, not a good rearview.

    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 mileage and Oil meter Air conditioning inc recycled air Radio remote control on the steering wheel Cigarette/cigar lighter and ashtray (ashtray can ... more

    4 Stars Renault Clio 1.4 Dynamique 2004 31/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap insurance, handles well, good interior

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No option over sunroof

    I have now managed to rack up nealy 2000 miles in my latest Clio and must say I am mighty impressed with the overall performance. When in town it provides a comfortable and easy drive despite the stop start nature of traffic lights, it is such an easy car to park and manouver too. Hit the country roads and the 15" tyres grip to the road like glue and cornering is an absolute pleasure. On the motorway it effortlessly moves along at 70-80mph but any more than that (and it will go more than that) it does seem a bit revvy. The seats are comfortable but there is not much space for adults in the ... more

    Advantages Advantages nippy, convenient, reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lifestyle car

    I have just had to say a sad farewell after many years to my little green clio, "madge". She did me proud nipping through London traffic, squeezing into spaces, and even taking a two and a half thusand mile trip driving round Sapin in her stride. she also regularly popped back from France with the back axle near the floor as the boot and back seats were loaded with wine or champagne. My Clio was perfect for my first years at work and in London - lots of short trips and the occasional long run. We never had problems with her, andwhen travelling in europe we were hit by a mad frenachman ... more
