Klein was earlier times
Small cars has long been the wrong word, but – you have not found a suitable word for the former base Mobile, presenting itself as a mature and comfortable cars. The new top-now marks the Renault Clio.

Renault Clio: from In a new size 7 October at the start
Only just the latest Frenchman missed four-meter mark in total length. But this metric is more a question of design – the engineering is smaller cars in the so-called packaging, distributing the available space. And have a different number is crucial: In the new Clio 2.58 meters distance is between the axles, which is almost as much as the much bigger VW Golf, and therefore the new benchmark in the subcompact class. The huge wheelbase of the Clio provides a generous sense of space at all seats. Although the length, height and width increase is indicated only in the interior, each about three inches. But this innocuous-Plus makes in the back of the head difference between feeding or not, and the knee angle in the new Clio is also much more relaxed than before.
Who flirts with the new acquisition of a small car may soon sit on the Renault dealer in both models sample – the old Clio is at an exceptionally low price of 8950 euros for the 60-hp model continue to be offered. For solo drivers may be worth it, all others is to recommend to the new, even if it is with prices from 10.950 € noticeably more expensive. Powering the base Clio by a 1.2-liter gasoline engine with 65 horsepower, which is available for 300 € and more in a 75-horsepower variant. Both machines are solid and quiet, especially representatives of their kind, yet absolutely beyond the pale when you’re down shortly before the new 86-hp diesel.

Clio rear: A fully-grown small car that has almost golf format
This 1.5-liter engine, there are also 68 or 106 horsepower, fits best to the overall impression of a small car, with more than a squint of the eye to the next higher car class. In addition to the already typical diesel agility is emphasized above all the extremely conservative noise machine. This helps her, however, the entire Clio concept: Of the 130 kilo weight compared to the previous model accounts for 20 percent, or 26 kilograms, measures of noise insulation.

Great reference manual for the Saturday afternoon “DO IT YOURSELF” person. With increasing cost for auto repairs this book was a life saver. Many minor repairs and preventive maintenance issues you do it yourself with some basic tools. Highly recommend.
