    Had a test drive for the entry level version of the Clio and it's great! Really want one!

    Great professional review. I've had the hybrid since July last year and the system is quite brilliant with seamless switching between engine and EV. The auto gearbox is ok but a bit thrashy on steep hills. Models are different here in UK with most models ( I believe) having a six speed box - I wonder why not in SA.. Interior quality has definately gone up a notch but for me the seats are too firm, a criticism I make of most cars in this segment. I do wonder why most reviewers ( and manufacturers )
    seem to think that a car of this size is only for city use. For myself and my wife this is perfect and we don't need a hulking great suv for long journeys! Great car though which deserves to succeed.

      Thanks for watching Barrie 🙂 I’m also confused as to why we don’t get a 6-spd or hybrid model this side of the world. Who knows, though…it might be on the cards for us in the future! 🤞🏻
      I’m glad to hear you & your wife are enjoying ritzing around in your gorgeous Clio! It’s a good looking product that definitely does deserve to succeed! 😊

      How is the wind noise on those long journeys? I have the previous generation Clio, and that's the only main complain I have. Wind noises at higher speeds make it difficult to speak normally, so without raising your voice.

    I bought the first Clio V Intense with option pack available in Namibia. Driving it for a month now and absolutely love the car!

      Amazing! Congrats on your new wheels! I'm not surprised to hear you're loving it 😉 I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Clio V!

    They did change their lineup in Europe. The 5 speed is replaced by a 6 speed manual. In Belgium u start with the Equilibre, Evolution, Techno and E-tech engineered.

      That’s good to hear! I really hope we get a 6-spd manual here in SA as well 🤞🏻

    That’s all good if you come from SA but in the UK we have more models and a as I’ve ordered a hybrid 70 mpg and 145 BHP!

      You cans defs turn it up! Just make sure you have your sound on the correct settings so the speakers don’t distort 🔊😉

    Great review, would love to hear your thought on the Kia Rio!

    • @DeanFriederich
      @DeanFriederich  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you for watching! 😃 I think the Rio is becoming a bit long in the tooth. We've had the current shape for quite a number of years now with very little changes, and competitors in this segment are all stepping up their game substantially. I hope Kia does something new with the Rio soon. It's always been a great contender in the C-segment hatch market & it would be a shame if Kia allowed it to be left in the dust!

    Hi Dean, another lekker vid, maybe look at getting a "Outdoor Artificial pop filter Fur Wind phone mic Windshield" for the iPhone to help with the wind noise :)

    Hi, great review! This is a beautiful car I must say. Do you know when can we expect it in automatic? Manual can be a bit inconvenient when it comes to traffic.

    Does the small digital screen in the cockpit display navigation information?

      Yes! But, according to a Renault dealer here in Cape Town, only on the range-topping Intens model 😉
