Bakes100 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hello there! I am currently looking at a new car for my gf, she likes the look of the new shape Clio, also the new fiesta but they seem a bit out of her price range for the decent ones currently. Does anyone have any experience of the 2008ish onwards Clio? Looking at either a 1.2 16v 75, 1.2 TCE 100 or a 1.5 DCI 86 in Dynamique trim. The 1.2 TCE claims higher MPG than the normal 1.2 16v so might be a good choice, obviously the diesels are priced slightly higher. Any views welcome Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Been looking at them with my daughter over the past week,and in the end we both thought they were a bit so so. Just got her the new shape (57 plate) 3 door Fiat Punto 1.2 looks very pretty. And my daughter loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosk Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I owned a RS 197 with cup pack (2008), made in a different factory to the normal ones, but it was awesome. The 1.2 turbo engine isn't as fuel efficient as the figures though I've read a lot on clio forums, plus my folks had that engine in their modus and found the same.

geoff-r Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 A mate has a 2009 1.2 Clio, it's horrible. Interior is cheap and nasty and it's so slow, get it on the motorway and the MPG is useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
