New Clio

[Clio1400]

Was browsing in my Renault Magazine I got through the other day, and I really, really like the look of the new Clio.

Any idea on prices yet? Id probably look at either a 3-door 1.6 16V or the 106bhp Dci.

I sold my late 2003 Clio Dynamique a while ago to purchase an M-reg Volvo T5, which has since had an engine change. Whilst the Volvo is great (240bhp now!) its a tad thirsty and being an older car, Im constantly worried something else will go wrong, costing me thousands again!

I can see where youre coming from - Im not so keen on the back end but side, front quarter and front shots look really nice.

It also looks really nice in solid red - a colour I hate with a venegence. I would imagine in a dark navy blue it would be stunning

Prices wont be much different than what they are now maybe £500 extra for the first few months.

No one liked the Mk2 Clio when it first came out, i remember most of us Mk1 Clio owners saying they were the new Micras lol

People will get to like them, it will just take time.

Yeah - thats kind of why I like them. The Megané is nice but the back end is too severe for my tastes. Id have a new Focus instead. The Clio fits the class below nicely but isnt too small (by the looks of it) which is perfect.
