Renalt Clio

[WSF]

Hey guys what do u think of da renault Clio 5dr hatchback 1.4?? im planning 2 get a brand new 1. I know it has a poor resale value.. yet does it have any issues or problems that makes me want 2 avoid buying a renault??

No issues whatsoever. Go for it.
(I guess you saw this standing alongside the Jimny in the Al-Rostamani showroom )

Is this what it looks like?



Other than your image driving that car (its a bit of a girly car), resale sucks, spares and services are uncertain given that there are not that many renaults on the market.

Why this, and not a Yaris? or Mazda 3?

Yeah, Japanese are certainly better but I figured that he had already considered them before even looking at this one.
Its cheaper with 35k for the base compared to 52k for the 3 and 41k for the Yaris.

Renaults are definitely priced better to get into this market.
I've rented Renaults several times in Europe and they are nice cars with a bit of the french touch.
I would think that the Megane or Laguna would be better but they ofcourse cost more.
The Megane convertible with the see-through roof is pretty cool.
But thats for around 90k!

No dats da new generation; renault really screwed it up with that facelift!!!! Da ones sold in da UAE r from da older gen:

Are you getting a 3 or 5 door model?

You kiddin me?
Both of them look screwed. The newer one looks like a desperate try to make it look elegant. And the previous gen just looks like an econobox.

Whats an econobox? .... I find it better looking than a 206, a yaris or an xA!!!

WSF..I thought you were into performance tuning!
Are you planning to tune the clio? Its apparently pretty tunable from what I hear.

Get a bodykit and lambo doors and you'll be fine

[WSF]

[WSF]

[T.N.T]

Ranging from 900 to 1900 AED.
