What Car? says
For The Clio is one of the best superminis – it's stylish, well built, refined and roomy
Against It's not cheap compared with its competitors, and the steering is lifeless
Verdict
A chic but grown-up supermini that oozes quality
Go for… 1.4-litre Dynamique
Avoid… 1.6 VVT Initiale
- 1. Suspension and brake problems are the most frequent complaints on older models
- 2. Servicing is quite pricey for the class, with Fiesta owners paying considerably less for routine maintenance
- 3. Go for the 1.4 petrol engine. It has a good balance of power and fuel economy, and it's cheap
- 4. Interior quality is fantastic, but the lowest-spec cars miss out on soft-touch dash trim
- 5. The cabin is roomy and will take four adults in comfort
