The Renault Clio is not a low price in general terms, but it has qualities that can partially offset this disadvantage.

While the controls are well placed, the front seats leave them loose to the body and moves even in curves that are not pronounced. It should try them before making a decision. A SEAT Ibiza or a Peugeot 207 have better seats.

Despite its size, the Renault Clio is a car suitable for travel because it reacts in a safe and stable. Moreover, this is achieved without resorting to a suspension or some wheels to do so uncomfortable, quite the contrary; the Renault Clio is a comfortable car with a suspension and very well adjusted.

The boot measures 288 liters (depending on system VDA), which itself is a good value. The maximum volume, with rear seats killed, it is 1038 l. Of the cars of between 3.8 and 4.0 m in length, only the Citroen C3 (305 l) and the new Seat Ibiza (292 l) have a larger volume. What it lacks the trunk is a shooter in a place with fewer tendencies to become dirty.

The quality of finishing and adjustment is good in general. The less expensive versions (where the plastic of the dashboard is worse than in the rest of the Renault Clio) do not have a wealth of materials that distinguish what is common in cars of this type.

For the Renault Clio cheaper they lack some elements of equipment, such as double regulation for the steering wheel, xenon headlamps or the pass and boot without keys. The only one that has stability control as standard is the Renault Clio Sport 197 hp, but at least it is optional on other versions.

A very interesting feature of the Renault Clio is that you can have a system to transport children between 6 and 10 years in the central square back. This place is the safest because it is the one farthest from the doors, but usually does not have Isofix anchorages and the appropriate place for a chair.
