Renault Clio 1.5dCi Initiale Diesel Hatchback...

Stylish, chic and enjoyable to drive, the Renault Clio is a superb little hatchback that has proved hugely popular. Despite the introduction of a new model, Renault continues to sell the this Clio as a budget model - badged the Clio Campus. It makes little sense as a new buy, you're better off paying extra for an entry-level version of the newer car, but as a used buy it represents good value.

There's a good choice of engines available and a seemingly endless (almost baffling) number of trims and special editions. Early cars had a fairly cheap feeling interior but this was improved in a 2001 facelift which also saw the Clio given a fresh front end. The driving position isn't the best and tall drivers will find there's a lack of headroom but the Renault is still fun to drive with keen handling and a good ride.

The 1.5 dCi diesel (available with 65, 80 and 100bhp) is outstanding. It's punchy, capable of motorway work and exceptionally frugal making it our pick of the engine range - especially the 100bhp version. The Clio Campus is only available with the 1.2-litre engine with either 60bhp or 70bhp (in Sport trim) and a 1.5dCi with 68bhp.
