Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The smart money goes on the 1.2 TCE because it's strong, smooth, responsive and affordable to buy and run. The entry-level 1.2 will be a little too weak for some, and the 1.6s are not flexible enough at low revs. The strong, smooth 1.5 diesel is good.

Don't bother with entry-level Expression models - they have a CD player and electric front windows, but not much else. We prefer Dynamique TomTom, which comes with sat-nav, alloy wheels, automatic headlights and wipers and air-con, but you can upgrade still further to GT Line TomTom. This adds climate control, tinted rear windows and a rear spoiler.

Renault frequently offers high-value special editions of the Clio, too, while give you lots of extra kit at a knock-down price. If you’ve decided on a Clio, these are definitely worth a look.
