Notice how at 120km/h, the rpm is still under 3000? For a 5 speed manual, that's decent. And I'm glad you were so thorough with what it offers. Less road noise, and great handling. If this was a VW or Toyota, it would be a best seller.
The only Renault Clio I keep seeing on the road is the outgoing model, these are pretty rare I must say. But considering how much Polos are at high risk of being hijacked, this is the car I'd definitely shortlist in the segment.
Beautiful interior especially the ambient lighting. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have an automatic version, especially in Joburg Traffic. But lovely hatch
I bought one last year and still enjoying it but there are only two things missing... auto transmission and sunroof other than that it's a beautiful hatch💯
@@sihlevilakazi7299 Renaults are very reliable now, I have one as well, since they teamed up up with Nissan and Mitsubishi they have been very reliable, more reliable than a polo.
I have one of these and I got the mid spec version. The only thing I can say about it is that you have to wait a minute or so after starting it before driving off in the morning, which I’m told is very important for a car with a turbo and it really drives better after a minute of the engine running. My only other concern is that the rear park lights are on 24/7, I thought it was just my car but then I saw it on other Clios as well. It’s not a bad quirk, it’s just unnecessary. But otherwise I’m enjoying my car, I get excited when I see other new Clios on the road 😂
MrHowMuch, i love your content, its the best of its kind in SA, a mini CARWOW. I especially love the driving scenes; We get to see what it would be like if we owned the car being reviewed, and i also like the night scenes, showing the headlight tech and cruising abilities, simply amazing. KEEP IT UP!!!
I bought a new Clio zen (mid spec) and I chose it over the Kiger due to the Clio being built in Europe and not India like the Kiger. The built quality is amazing and the drive is very quiet. It’s a solid car and it feels like it can run for many years to come. I do wish I had the coin for the Intens (top spec) and I see more of the new Clios on the road now that I have one. It does have polo vibes and I see why it would go toe to toe with the new polo and I also see why people opt for the polo, because it has a sunroof and an auto gearbox. I hope Renault can keep the Clio name alive in South Africa, it’s literally the only OG model from the past besides the Duster.
No shade to the Indian built models (Kiger, Kwid & Triber) but I’ve heard more complaints about the Kiger than any other models. We also have a Kwid at home and it’s honestly the most reliable car I’ve ever driven, very cheap to maintain, brake pads are like R450 and it’s not a perfect car but I trust it more than any other car I’ve owned. I don’t see myself selling the Kwid. All I’m saying is that Renault is a good brand and they are worth shortlisting. I honestly think they just need more models on their line up.
Fellow Clio V owner here and was lucky enough to afford the intens and as you can probably guess I have zero regrets. What a machine! I had a polo vivo before and this car is a lot better. Let’s gatekeep Renault, these VW drivers are missing out and risking their lives as a bonus😂
I have a 2014 model and thinking about upgrading. Thanks for the thorough review. So many upgrades here the reverse camera is my absolute favorite new feature!
Bought the 2016 clio expression 0.9L, im loving this car, the seats are comfortable. The sound is amazing. Lol the car is nca man. I wonder hows this latest model like if the 2016 is so good.
Mr How Much, I have watched all your uploads and I love them. one question though each of your videos you never miss not to mention polo drivers or polo itself lol it kills me each time you do that, what have they ever done to you hahaha
Hi....I want to ask about this new Clio...does it have a turbo problem ? How is the maintenance, do you still have to wait for parts or when it breaks..you can fix? Please be honest when replying...I love the car so someone said it is not a wise decision to invest in turbo car for long period.
🔥🔥decent review I didn't take this car seriously until I saw this review. Damn, this is a nice car, which is better than a polo life. One thing that is lacking is a sunroof.
That Durk and Cole song though🔥😎,Dope review, love the evolution of the fam, this clio is lowkey ahead of its time for sure, would've loved to hear some revs and its sound system😎🔥
Bro I'm sorry to be out of context. What are you doing for a living(profession) and where and what did you study?? Sorry but I'm just a curious fan who's been following your content and I'm loving it.
This review is insightful man thanks so much for it. Quick question, given that the max gear is 5 and not 6 on the car, does it not make too much noise beyond 120 km/h if the revs get too high? I also saw some concerns about the car jerking on the 1st gear, is that a serious concern or is it a case of a clumsy someone that tested it?
As far as 5 speed manuals go , this is one of the few that don’t get too loud when you start driving beyond 120 KM/H , you’ll easily do highway speeds without even noticing the engine is there. I’m not too sure about the car being jerky could have been the driver but maybe they were referring to the gearbox being notchy but even so it’s not something I would consider a deal breaker.
Sunroof cons: Less fuel efficiency because sunroof increases the overall weight of your vehicle. Reduced headroom. More prone to leakage. More susceptible to car break-ins. On the Auto transmission, I have to agree.
I often advice people to avoid cars and brands their not sure about , if you don’t feel fully confident in a French or Chinese car for example , then rather go for something you know you’ll be able to live with.
@mrhowmuch very true, my mom actually has the old Renault Sandero and she hasn't had many issues with it at all, so Renault is good, I love the new cleo, but yeah I was just wondering if they had fixed their stock problem 🙈 I just wanted to ask as I am quite tall, does it allow for a comfortable driving position for tall people?
Mazda offers 3 year warranty and service plan. You won't find a low mileage CX5 at 369k that has those. Mazda parts aren't cheap, the maintenance will chow you.
This Clio is by far the best new hatchback in SA. It is refreshing
🤞🏼
It’s got that thing 🤌🏾
It ain't and will never be the best without the sunroof.
buy yours and put sunroof on it. Where have you ever seen a Renault with sunroof in SA?@@Mnaoke
That is exactly my point. Without the sunroof, it is not the best.@@Lesiba2

The Clio is a well refined car and you’re spot on for a 5 Speed Manual it handles its revs very well 👌🏾
The only Renault Clio I keep seeing on the road is the outgoing model, these are pretty rare I must say. But considering how much Polos are at high risk of being hijacked, this is the car I'd definitely shortlist in the segment.
This is the rarest car on the road
They should have made an auto as well
Have you seen the clio rs f1?
I should start a “ Please bring an Automatic Clio petition “ 🤔 seems to be what everyone is asking for.
Not really mate
@@mrhowmuchNope. Leave this one for real drivers
not a fan of Renault Clio but this one is irresistible indeed. it is well priced
Agreed 👌🏾
Bought one two months ago and I’m thoroughly impressed. The ride comfort, engine performance and fuel efficiency are amazing.
It impressed me aswell , it’s a well rounded car.
And how is the manual transmission?
Beautiful interior especially the ambient lighting.
The only bad thing is that it doesn't have an automatic version, especially in Joburg Traffic.
But lovely hatch
my uncle ended up buying the Kiger because it doesnt have an auto and he really loved the clio
A lot more people would be driving Clio’s if they brought in the automatic aswell , and I agree with you it’s a lovely hatch indeed.
I bought one last year and still enjoying it but there are only two things missing... auto transmission and sunroof other than that it's a beautiful hatch💯
Please update.. Any reliability issues? I'm thinking of getting it for my birthday in December
I love this car so much but my problem is that it's a manual transmission. The last time I drove a manual car was in driving school.
How is the reliability?
@@sihlevilakazi7299 Renaults are very reliable now, I have one as well, since they teamed up up with Nissan and Mitsubishi they have been very reliable, more reliable than a polo.
Man i enjoy both you and Muzi car reviews you're honest and you outline everything that we need to know keep up the good work.
I used to derive the Clio IV. I bought it in 2018. Clio cars are cool and the fuel consumption is low. I am tempted to get this one
A superb review. There are many Clio's in the UK, it's extremely popular.
Renault is doing a good job in understanding the country's market. With this Clio Chinese market is in for competition..

I really really love the Clio but I don't like manual transmissions 😢
Manual made me scared to drive😢. I have stalled many times and I am still afraid to drive
Be clear you can’t drive manual transmission
@@Homelander2090before a car stalls it jerks while it’s doing doing quickly press down the clutch then release it slowly and accelerate
There is an automatic version now. At least in Europe. I have one, so I should know. :-) Mine has the 91 hp engine.
Yoh, i remember when the Clio was a baby Megane. Now, it's all grown up 🤗
If the back doors had proper handles, it would look EXACTLY like a Megane.
Oh I’m definitely getting it…needed a honest review on it.
Amazing review. You're right it would look hard with a sun roof
Great way to start the day, love the content
Happy to hear that 🙌🏾
Thanks for watching…
I'm one of those that do not like it's display layout for me that's a big miss. But the exterior is perfectly designed for me.
I decided to get this car after watching your reviews. I came from a Polo Vivo Comfortline that got stolen and this car is miles ahead.
The build quality on this clio is solid , it’s such an underrated car and the best part is that it is a low risk vehicle.
@@mrhowmuch Couldn’t have said it any better. Keep the good reviews coming man. You have saved me from the cult that is VW in SA! 👍🏽
@@sihlevilakazi7299 no complaints at all! I love the car. The gear lever is a bit stiff though, my girlfriend still struggles to change gears.

Looks better than the polo,this and the Mazda2 take it👍🏽🔥(I think the pre facelift polo looks better).
Depends which polo model you referring to
@@blacgaz6419 I’m referring to all of the polo variants.
Good review bro. Good review.
Amazing car it is! Love it! Those lights are amazing, by the way. LEDs, right?
I like your content man. Keep it up 👏🏾
I baught my wife this car... Needless to say.. I drive it everyday! I love it! Amazing machine!

You can wgen push it further all the way to Nelspruit

Add a panoramic sunroof and shorten the bee sting antenna… and I’m sold!🙌
It awesome to see two content creators in the same niche working together. Looking forward to your review with Muzi
Don't know how many times I came back to this video. Next year🕯🕯

Never owner a renault but there's so many features here
This is not bored and inflated suv, this is an agility, efficient and nice hatchback... This is a Clio

By far the best looking hatch in its segment ,
Thanks for this video mate from the UK I’m hopefully getting this car next week with 6 gear box
Thanks for watching mate 🙂
Is the spec you have in the UK similar to this one ?
Mr How Much, I have watched all your uploads and I love them. one question though each of your videos you never miss not to mention polo drivers or polo itself lol it kills me each time you do that, what have they ever done to you hahaha

2:02 there's no catching that blue BMW.
Great car but Renault must do better next time, automatic cars are a must in this country.
I don't know why they're a must, but I absolutely agree 😂
I will show them the comments , maybe they will consider it 🤷🏾♂️
Manual transmission in 2023 as the only option? But they offer the push start mechanism? Hai ngeke.
There is an automatic version now. At least in Europe. I have one, so I should know. :-) Mine has the 91 hp engine.
Love the Car ... but where is the sunroof and automatic transmission?
@MrHowMuch Do you mind telling me the name of the baby car seat you used in this review?
I'd like to buy and use it on my Clio 5 as well.
You just gained a follower.
Cruising around Benoni, Rynfield in the cut. Dope vid!
🔥🔥decent review I didn't take this car seriously until I saw this review. Damn, this is a nice car, which is better than a polo life. One thing that is lacking is a sunroof.
The polo wins it for me because you can get the polo with an automatic.
Balancing the clutch is not my ideal fun.
I really like this car but m not a fan of manual
You can’t drive it nhe
Please review the megane trophy model, we rarely see those being reviewed
I’m sold ! 🔥 this will be my new favourite channel
Welcome to the channel 🙂
Does Apple car play and sportify on cars use data or??
Yes.
Great video!
I bought the i20 n line because they didn't have an automatic
I’m hoping they see all the comments requesting for an automatic on this review and consider bringing it into our market.
There's nothing I hate more than the clutch.
@@phakamanibrianmtshara150 lol n balance control eish
I should visit renault ❤❤
What did u say about Kia Rio?
Love your reviews my brother, can i know what im gonna buy. Thanks a lot man
That Durk and Cole song though🔥😎,Dope review, love the evolution of the fam, this clio is lowkey ahead of its time for sure, would've loved to hear some revs and its sound system😎🔥
that "ambient lighting" is literally one line of light on one side of the gear lol.
Nice,
Please review the 2024 model (Clio V1.0 Turbo intens (with intens pack))
Please can you do a review of renault megane rs 300 trophy 2023
Had they added a sunroof for this I would have opted for it
A rare breed 🔥🔥🔥
Does it come with Panoramic roof like the other German rival?
No sunroof, no automatic and it's such a pity because those are the two things car buyers are not willing to compromise on.
It is beautiful ❤
I only have one question, it terms of reliability is it good? Good enough over the toyota?
How much deposit and installment
Well done MrHowMuch for an awesome and informative review, well done!
Thanks for watching Thabang 👊🏾 I appreciate it.
Looks great but is it reliable bro?
can i fit an almost door to door panoramic sun roof on it,as reno does not do those
I just love the vehicle ❤

I love the car, quite expensive though
I’m considering trading in the kiger for the Clio 🤔
Plz do Nissan Magnite 😊 I really love that car
I’m still trying to get into Nissan but stay tuned , you never know…
Now this, this is a very nice car
i naver missed any of your videos bro...
I appreciate it bro
Thank you 👊🏾
Mr how much how do u edit ur videos
Yoh but the key gets lost easily trust me they should put that key thing where you insert ur remote for the gate or house keys they should add it
Better than a Polo
This car is great and would make polo run for its money only if it could have a sunroof.
yes, it looks gorgeous but it excuses the Peugeot 208 GT on the spot😉
Was looking for this comment
Solid build I love it
The lack of sunroof and lack of automatic are deal-breakersfor me.
