2001 Renault Clio Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"One Of The Best Hatches Out There"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had car a fortnight now. Everything running smooth enough. Some annoying rattles from the dashboard/glove compartment. Barring that, EXCELLENT.
General comments?
As I say had the car 2 weeks. I must say it's a cracking hatch. Much better than the Corsa 02 reg I test drove. I have the DYNAMIQUE Clio with extras like 5 spoke alloy wheels, ABS, AirCon, Multiple airbags etc. It's a smashing looker in Cherry red. If I had went from my old '96 fiesta classic cabaret to this clio, it would've been like going from a skoda to a Merc, but since my first car was the fiesta, I have had a 2000 astra (wish I kept it as well) and a mondeo estate '99) so I feel cramped in such a small motor and I have put down a deal with Ditchfields motor company to let them have it and I have their '94 Jaguar XJ6 SPORT. A real beauty for £2500...and much BIGGER pedals and room for the 6FT of ME!
