1999 Renault Clio RN review from Netherlands
"Pithy little car. I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One fuel injector gave up after just 12.000 km.
General comments?
Pithy little car. The engine, although only 1.2 liters, is quite capable! It outperforms my old Renault 18 GTL with a 1647 cc engine by far! The car has good acceleration and handles lovely in both city traffic and on the highway. On top of that it only consumes 1 liter fuel per 17km. Also the comfort and space are OK, although in the back-seats room is scarce. With the backseats down however, you have a small truck at your disposal and can transport an enormous amount of stuff!
