  • In today's video I talk about how a 2011 Renault Clio (which happens to be my old car) would make a great first car for someone. I owned this car for 3/4 years and covered 37,000 miles. I talk about my experiences with the car and what's good/bad.

    I had the 2012 model for almost 4 years as my second car.
    Unfortunately, where I live, we had only two engine\gearbox combinations:
    1.2 75hp with manual gearbox.
    1.6 110hp with automatic gearbox.
    Both of them were equipped with cruise control, original head unit (with AUX and control from the steering wheel), A\C is standard where I live on every car, front electric windows, electric mirrors, 6 air bags, ABS and ESP.
    I had the 1.2, it was pretty cheap here (the manual version was 7500 euro cheaper than the automatic), the car was comfortable and fuel efficient (5.5-5.9L/100KM) but painfully slow.

    I definitely think something like a corsa is better for learning, I struggled learning on my 1.1l 2009 dynamique as it was difficult as a new driver understanding the way this cars clutch works compared to my sisters corsa which was just hold the clutch and you go, my clio was hold the clutch and go 0.1mph, rev up to 2000-3000rpm and you crawl which made pulling off at junctions a bit tense and scary as a new driver

    Great first car! I have the same one currently in my first year of driving, paid 1400 for 1st year insurance with a black box in this exact car but a 2012 version. The car isn’t fast but like you say it gets the job done and what more can you ask for from a first car except no problems 👍🏼

    Had 2010 Imusic for 13years. No problems with it. Engine died due to me not putting oil in a few weeks ago. Totally my fault. Would totally recommend this car to anyone. I paid about £240 a year insurance. Got 27yrs no claims. Just bought a 2017 corsa 1.4 and its £210 a year. I used to have a MR2 with £500 year insurance when i was 26yrs old, but insurance is a total scam these days.

    Tenho um Clio destes há 3 anos e nunca (nem por uma vez!) me deu qualquer problema! Podia escrever em Inglês mas não me apetece. Traduzem de Português para Inglês se vos apetecer...
    Investi quase 700 euros no carro a alterar a correia de distribuição, bomba de água, discos e pastilhas de travões, filtros e um rolamento que estava gripado. Mas isso faz parte da manutenção de qualquer carro, não é verdade?
    Aconselho a todos o CLIO. É uma excelente máquina e dependendo da condução, pode ser muito económico, para além de confortável e seguro.
    O Tom Tom é de baixa qualidade mas nos dias de hoje, usamos o Google Maps e não é problema.
    Obrigado por me lerem, especialmente aqueles que se deram ao trabalho de traduzir e entender o que escrevi...
