What reviewers say

Both reviewers found the sixth-generation Clio refined, efficient in real-world driving and well equipped, with a smart two-screen dashboard, though Autocar judged the handling tidy rather than lively. Both found the ride brittle over potholes on the optional 18-inch wheels; Autocar also criticised the rear head room and the move of the climate controls onto the screen, and Auto Express noted some scratchy plastics.
