I think it would be safer to learn how everything works before you start driving. I drive the 1.5 dci dynamique . It’s a great driving car with decent acceleration. I chipped the engine recently and it’s driving even better. My car only had 48 000 miles on it and it only cost £2800 to buy. I have added extras to my car new wheels etc . I have been driving renault vehicles for over 25 years. I have only broken down once in a renault in all that time. The k type dci engine. Is the most reliable engine they have built. Diesel is the only clio any good for long commutes.
Thanks for this - really helpful. I've been driving a Vauxhall Astra which I find incredibly uncomfortable due to the low seat position. I'm looking at a 2011 1.2 petrol clio. Would you say the driving position is relatively high/comfortable? I'm 5'6" and I'm guessing you're quite a bit taller but would be interested in your thoughts. Thanks!
Hi Evey, thank you for watching. I'm 5ft11, and the driving position, for me, is a little too high and the steering wheel angle feels a bit awkward. But, it's all personal taste, I just prefer sitting a bit lower in the car, rather than feeling I'm sitting on it
This review is so helpful thank you. I'm going to look at one in the next week!

Great Review I defiantly enjoyed it :)
Would you recommend the 2011 version for a first car?
Apologies for the delay, I didn't get the notification. Yes I would, it's a very easy and light car to drive
