It my knowledge kown as Renault Clio for two and a half years now, it is an 05 plate with on 35,000 miles on the clock. I have to admit, out of the cars iv had, this has been the best.

The renault clio, like every other car has evolved in shape as new ideas and models have been introduced. I have a Renault Clio 1.2 16v Extreme at the moment and couldnt fault it one bit. Since i bought the car from a friend, i have had no issues with it, only 2 Flat tyres.

Look of the car:

The car itself looks very nice, doesn't have an big rear like the megane or an ugly front like certain other cars. I would say the exterior is for both women and men. The clio comes as standard with alloy wheels, quite nice to be honest for a standard issued item.

Handling:

In all honesty, this small car handles like a go kart, nippy going round corners and handles brilliantly. No groans all round on the handling side. A big help in the rain when the ground is slippy.

Petrol Useage:

Everybody knows that the cost of petrol is always on the rise, therefore we have to watch what we are putting into the tank. At the moment, £10 will give 2 bars of fuel on the clio and to fill it up to the brim, around £45 is needed. That is not all that much compared to some of the bigger engines. Even with a full tank, this lightweight car is still extremely nippy on straights and round corners.

There would only be a couple of downsides to the clio that i can fault:

One of them is the space in the back of the car, If there are 5 people travelling in the car at the same time, it can get awfully cramped in the back seats. My chair tends to be quite far back and when someone is sitting directly behind me, i have to pull it forward a fair amount restricting my legs to drive.

The other down side would be boot space, not a very big boot but depending on what it is used for, may not be a big bother to many people.

The car i had before the Clio was an 52 reg corsa which i had a few problems with, although there tends to be a bit more room in this car, the handling wasnt so good and also the engine started to make a really funny ticking noise when i drove it.

All in all, the clio is a nice, small nippy car. I have also driven a 2 litre Clio sport and am hoping to be able to buy one in the near future as this animal is quite possibly even more amazing! The beast roars as you press down on the accelerator to see what it can do.
