french cars are real money suckers,IMHO.we had a renault years ago and i remember how my Pa had to spend a fortune when it's engine went beserk.he spend more money trying to fix the thing than how much we paid for it initially.we had a tough time convincing him to dump the machine and buy a new car.we bought a Daewoo Cielo back then.now our cars are only Japan made ones....1 suzuki and 2 hondas.once bitten twice shy!

Alumnar, haven't seen a crippled Clio on the streets but have seen some Honda Civics though. =)

I suspect people try and dunebash with them before reading the manual... just a feeling...

There are Clios and then there are Clios. I have driven them both here and in the UK. For some reason, the ones here are crap...

I don't know why .

... one of the WORSE cars on the market!!! Very low resistance to accidents, built out of cotton wool and not recommended for the desert - unless it is to drive it into the sea at Sealine and not to come out ever again!!

JMHO!

don't go french made car's... no re-sale value...and not ever mechanic can handle it ... if some problem occurs... go for nissan tida,sunny, or camry,corolla...

thanks for information n i will see today this car then will go fr health check thorughly...

The French-Lebanese Carlos Ghosn is the current CEO of Nissan and Renault. The company's most successful car to date is the Renault Clio, and its core market is France...Sorry Qatar for not noticing a great car...

Its a Nissan Tiida in disguise...

What is maintenance cost?>>>Depends on the part to be replaced. But yes a little over than the japanese counterpart but not everything in it.

spare parts are available easily?>>>Yes! Unless it's a rare Renault.

how is petrol/fuel consumption? A Clio has 16 valves which would mean it's fuel efficient, but hey, you're in the mideast where water is more expensive than petrol!

Balance this: a 2006 Toyota Corolla will ranged between 36K to 38K against a 16K Clio. A car will depend on how you use and maintain it. You ever read of a bad review about the Clio? Here's the link to get you convinced:http://www.topgear.com/uk/renault/clio
