    1.2’s and hills...

    Yep your not wrong im well happy with the car its like once a blue moon I go 4-up like that. It does handle very well and I got a good chance to test it out on the way back - would never push a car through the twisties with passengers anyway though. 13" tyres though wow not masses of rubber...

    I CRASHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sounds like the clio stood up very well to what sounds like a very bad accident! Renault are definitely one of the safest makes of cars always do well in crash tests... although this doesnt mean you should drive like a prat right 2fast? DD did any/all of the airbags go off?

    1.2 16v or 1.5dci Extreme/ Dynamique.

    petrol car in the end - im on the road 2 - 3 hours a day in slow traffic so the diesel probably made more sense though!!! but the higher price of the car and noisy engine put me off i guess.

    Top 5 driver annoyances

    also dont forget the new vectra has AS STANDARD radar to ensure distance from the car in front never exceeds 1 foot this gadget means you do not even need to concentrate on the car in front whilst talking on the mobile!

    Sporty Mats

    The only really nice ones I have found were very expensive (autostyle), In the end I bought the cheapest rubber Renault ones and then painted the clio logo and edges with similar colour model-paint to match my interior trim :-)
