    I bought my clio from an auction for £3800 in 2005 at two years old i thought this was such a bargin but it hasnt worked out that way. i have had nothing but problems with it in the last two years. thermistat housing as been repleaced as craked, keeps going in to limp mode every now and then garage tell me throttle sensor has gone but i think ecu, looking at a cost of £1000 or more to replace both just to be sure. renault repair bills are way excessive i would not recommed this car to any1 unless u like spending your days on the hard shoulder and being towed. the garage have told me this is a very common problem with the clio so i would stay away. also had problems with the fuse box was all corrodied causing the engine to not start. i advise you all to stay away and look elsewhere if is by far the most unreliable car i have ever owned give me a ford anyday.

    Excellent car so far! Have had no performance issues so far. Acceleration is very good despite it being slightly heavier than other cars in its class such as the Peugeot 106 and the handling is great to. The brakes are very good and feel very responsive on the peddle, as is the throttle peddle. Fuel consumption is excellent which is useful as I'm only 17. I personally love the look of my car despite the interior having a 'cheapish' plastic look, still looks very nice though.
    Only downside of the ...

    I have just recently gone to view a renault clio 3 extreme 04 plate for sale, i test drove it and it was great. The car was very responsive to acceleration and deceleration, although i do not own this car as of yet i have high hopes for it, and it looks good aswell.

    Bad points: when you are travelling over rough ground e.g. gravel, the sun roof does rattle slightly however this does not occur on normal roads.

    Very unreliable!

    Everything on this car went wrong after a while. there were problems after problems. i spent altogether trying to fix the car, around £2000, at the end the car just became even worse,and would go into limp home mode every 5 mins. i thought the problem was lambda sensor. i changed it and it did nothing. eventually i sent it to a friend to have a close look only to find the ECU had gone!

    Almost everything about this car is superb, decent acceleration and speed for a 1.2 and will keep up with most others despite being heavier, very safe for passengers, comes with a huuuge amount of mod-cons for its price i.e. climate control, electric wing mirrors, rain sensitive windscreen wipers etc. and has a beautifully layed out and designed interior (in my opinion) I find it a pleasure to drive.

    I love this car so much and I'm gutted I can't afford to repair it... over all its a brilliant car apart from the repair cost an how much t breaks down.

    Generally it can be a relaible car but Renault need to improve service and design a more relaible car has the keys that they have now always brakes and your left without a car until your receive a new key and it has been programed to the car.

    Problems every 2 weeks, fire damage to electric mirror switch, CD players keep breaking, misfires, backfires, cuts out, knocks and rattles, water leak from sunroof, wheel bearings and rough idling all went wrong in 1st year of ownership.
    It is the worst car I have ever owned and it will be the last due to poor dealership not fixing car properly. I'm definitely going back to a Ford!

    The Renault Clio 1.2 16V Extreme 2 looks good but when it breaks down, it's horrible to work on and very expensive to fix, typical French car! You are better off buying VW or Ford!

    I have only had my Renault Clio 1.2 16V Extreme 2 for 3 weeks, but I was really lucky to get a 53 reg for £4495.00 from Reg Vardy in Harrogate (they have loads). The bonus was it already had Lexus lights on the rear, and brand new alloy wheels!! This is my 3rd car, and will be mine for a long time, so I wanted something I wouldn't grow tired of, and this is the one!!

    The fuel consumption is excellent! The drive is excellent, and the interior (if you get one like mine) is stunning! I ha ...

    If you are a young driver, who has just saved up enough for your first car, the Renault Clio 1.2 16V Extreme 2 is the one for you. Because:
    1. You will save money on petrol, 50MPG is almost as good as many diesels
    2. Cheap to insure, go to Tesco, I paid £1500 a year, it seems a lot but for a new driver that is the cheapest on the market
    3. All your mates will want one, they look superb (especially in Metallic Black)
    4. Extras as standard, power steering, sunroof, electric windows, spor ...
