Renault Clio IV B98 Dynamique (2013-2016)

Looks nice but a few small issues – I love the look of this car both inside and out. Very small leg room in the back. Seat height adjustment in the front would have been a bonus as my husband almost hits hit head on the interior roof. Dashboard good but cruise control switches can be fiddly and you need to take your eyes off the road to look down near the gearstick. Had some early… Read more

issues with the connectivity and audio and on 2 occasions I couldn't turn the engine off then when we finally did and restarted it, we had no audio. Somehow this has corrected itself.

The air conditioner failed after just 2 months and needed a new compressor.

Car runs well but is very slow off the mark and I need to make sure I leave extra space for the car to get its act together and accelerate.

Has very serious blind spots on both sides so need extra caution when changing lanes.

Bonnet latch not practical on passenger side floor.

Very small glove compartment and drink holders quite shallow so cups can tip plus only for very slim bottles.

No CD player...just a sign of the times.

Would be nice if there was a small hidden compartment for coins, etc.

Perfect in some ways quality is eh – considering so many reviews people seem to love their Clio and I did at first, but It could be mine is just a fluke as its been flagged with small problems, minor but for a near new car (ex demo 900kms on the odometer) all have been fully covered under warranty and Renault customer service I cannot fault at all. BUT, within a few months of owing… Read more

(currently 2.5 years in) my ESC light has come at least 3 times car has driven fine but of course I've had to drop the car off at Renault each time it has gone off. Just after a year of owning my car I went to fill it up and heard a clunk didn't think much of it until I couldn't fill my car up with petrol as it continued to click, took it to Renault who informed me that the neck had fallen and that because of this blocking the fuel the easiest way to fix was replacing the whole fuel tank. Renault advised they had never ever seen this problem and a new tank was ordered and replaced in a week. During which I was picked up from work when my car was ready and dropped off to collect ( they also dropped my home as I was unexpectedly without a car!). Since this incident my anti pollution light has come on at least 3 to 4 times this year and been taken to Renault each time, had a part replaced but I have recently just returned from Renault who will replace the same part again. In saying all that Renaults customer service has been great and I've not been out of pocket thank you waranty, but for a near new car I did not expect to put my car in so many times. Also a niggly problem but I find my number plate is too low have almost ripped it off on curbs before. I really want to say I love it but ( I mean its features are amazing) but I will give Renault the benefit of the doubt for a few more months then we shall see. *note also had a flat tyre, my fault except the spare is max 80km* *EDIT looked at my receipts since owning my car for 2.5 years its will has been to the dealer 8 times and next week will make it 9 as my anti pollution light has come on again, less than a month after having the sensor replaced. I would so 10 times but its less then 100 kms off its next service so two birds one stone.
