1999 Renault Clio RN review from UK and Ireland

Very little, just the changing of some bulbs.

Twitchy remote central locking, is a little un nerving, you have to check that its locked properly.

I bought it from a local auction house, so couldn't check the car out thoroughly beforehand, I found that despite it being mistreated by its previous owners, and having missed its first service, it was mechanically perfect, it starts first time every time, and has yet to give me any problems.

Performance is good, nippy round town. OK on the motorways.

When driven sensibly it can achieve 45 mpg.

It tends to roll around a lot at speed, but that's quite acceptable considering what its been designed for.

Cheap insurance is also a plus.

I recently did nearly 500 miles on the motorways and found it was OK, my back ached a bit at the end, but on the whole it was fine.

Speaking to some "in car audio experts" I found that the front speakers are quite good and don't need upgrading, even when I upgraded the Head unit (radio cassette to radio CD/MP3).

My dad drives a Volvo estate, and commented that "It has a big car feel to it".

On the whole it's a great little car!
