What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the fifth-generation Clio is a well-rounded, good-value supermini with a smart interior, a good driving position, strong equipment and one of the biggest boots in its class. Both found rear space tighter than a VW Polo's; What Car? found it less fun than a Ford Fiesta and less comfortable than a Polo, and Autocar found the engine growly at higher speeds.
