    Good Points: Excellent stereo, fantastic fuel economy (70+ on the motorway), nippy performance, good road holding, low tax and insurance. Very responsive engine without the need to rev it hard.


    Bad Points: Sun roof rattle (yes Renault it is very annoying!), no instant mpg on display (standard in Europe), rear number plate light assembly corroded (no seals on the design). Leg room in back restricted for large adults.


    General comments: Bought my wife a 54 plate Renault Clio Privilege 1.5 dCi 80, Sept 07 from main Salisbury. New turbo fitted during the service, under warranty. Also took extended Renault warranty for further two years. Apart from the annoying sunroof rattle and discovering the number plate connector has corroded it ' s been a good reliable car returning around 53mpg on the school run (5 miles). Today I drove return trip Bournemouth to Cardiff (the first time I was allowed to ' borrow ' her car). I was surprised at just how nippy it is. Handling is positive on the corners, plenty of power for overtaking and cruised without effort on the motorway. Pulls well from 2000 rpm passing other diesels on the hills without effort. It returned 73.5mpg on the trip.

Had a Volvo V40 Estate Diesel before and this car is just so much fun to drive, at work they have started calling me "Kevin" and think I should wear a baseball cap, as once you get behind the wheel you feel 18 again!
    I have the metallic black version the 80 bhp, 5 dr. It has all the things you need/like, PAS, Air Con, Sun Roof, Electric Windows, Mirrors, Alloys, often think somet ...

    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 bra ...
