1995 Renault Clio RT from UK and Ireland - Comments

When I first bought the car, I found out that the rear wiper wasn't working, but seen as it had 12 months warranty, it cost me nothing to get it fixed, the garage showed me a receipt from Arriva though, cost them £160, thank god for warranties!!!

Fantastic car, very fast for a 1.4 although it has been modified slightly by the previous owner which means that 0-60 is 10 seconds and I've had it doing 120mph... on a track of course, not on open roads because that'd be breaking the law! ahem...

Anyway, the car's really comfortable, decent stereo but that's getting changed soon, probably keep the 4 speakers as they sound top notch.

Need some alloys.

Drives good and sticks to the road.

Good equipment level with mine having PAS, E/W electric heated wing mirrors, R/C/L, 4 speaker R/C, 1.4i, side impact bars, driver's airbag, rev counter and loads of over little gadgets which are cool!!!!

Overall it's a fantastic car and everyone that's been in it loves it, especially my lady friends, but that's another story :)

Whatever you do mate, do not put alloys or any of the works on it as it'll just attract thieves. It's happened to me one time too many. Not all that fast either, what did you used to drive? A Robin Reliant???

The RT comes with a 6 speaker stereo that kicks ass!

The 1.4 unit will kick the ass of any 1.4 Corsa SRI.

I must say, I wouldn't put alloys on one before I fit it with a Cat 1 alarm.

I've given many a VTR a run for their money and the six speakers are brilliant.

Clios are definitely cool cars and I have oz super T alloys on mine. The stereo was naff and I replaced it with a JVC stereo and uprated speakers. fairly fast car though.

Comments seem to say that the Clio is very quick for a 1.4 and can beat Corsa sri which is hard to believe as my pug 1.4 xs obliterates the clio (0-60 in 9.3 standard) and a sri keeps up a lot better.

I have to agree with the person above, I owned 2 axgt's and a 106 xsi before I bought my clio 16v...and both cars would leave a clio 1.4 rt (more so the axgt).

Clio valver is the way to go!

Dead true 16v clio's are the only way to go I upgraded from an RT to a '95 1.8 and they are amazing cars. However I could never fault the reliability of the smaller clio's mine went from 60 to 100,000 miles with barely 500 pounds spent on repairs. Considering this cost 800 quid to buy I'd choose it over a 106 anytime.
