For The Renault Clio is quiet, comfortable and nimble to drive; and if you pick the right one, it's classy, practical and safe, too.
Against Prices could be cheaper and the entry-level versions are a little too basic.
What Car? says
Choose the right one (1.2 Turbo Dynamique TomTom), and the Clio is one of the finest cars in the class. Quiet, comfortable and classy, yet cheap to run.

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.
