General Comments

Acquired the DCi 80bhp version of the Renault Clio Expression as a second car a year ago.
Have driven many different cars I find this as much fun to drive as anything I have driven before.
It is responsive, quick to accelerate and will happily cruise at motorway speeds and beyond without feeling stressed and with minimal engine noise.
It is only at low speeds that you can tell its a diesel.
The best bits are that due to its low CO2 emissions it falls into the £85 per annum road tax bracket, is cheap to insure and even when driven hard returns over 60mpg. I have gone over 700 miles between fill ups.
The Expression spec is not great but has single slot cd and electric front windows/mirrors and height adjustable driver's seat.
I also tried the 65 bhp version which is slower but might give slightly better fuel economy. I would recommend the 80 bhp as the better option.

    i have a 1.5dci 80bhp dynamoneak or words like that and i love it it handles well after doing away with the continentals standard fit and moving to dunlop sp 1s a far better tyre and it makes the stick like glue even in the wet .i too bought the car as a second but its my way of going to and from work in the fastest posible time it is so much fun to drive . i have air con sun roof front spost all as standard, and i have fitted sports pedals nd had the windows tinnted it makes the car look braw it is metalic green forest i think but it is such a good car .the only down side is had one oil leak from gear box houseing and the pasengers door lock stoped working on remote but both fixed under warrenty so im happy .all in all a great car and fun to drive so go out and buy one .
