2000 Renault Clio review from UK and Ireland
"I feel the Clio is dangerous, as it does not hold the road at the speeds it is manufactured to go at"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is unstable when travelling at the speeds it has been manufactured to do so. When the Clio is travelling at speeds such as 80mph it cannot hold the slightest bend easily. Very recently I know of 4 young people who have crashed Clio's due to this. Two of these proved fatal. I do not accept that travelling at these speeds is safe or justifiable, but at the end of the day of the car can do it then people will. My argument is that if any car can physically get up to certain speeds, it should also be manufactured to hold the road at those speeds. as in reality naive people will put their foot down.
General comments?
See above, also the bonnet catch has failed me, nearly causing a serious accident.
Although the cars cosmetic appeal is still strong and it gives a generally smooth drive. Gear box is nice and supple.
