    “Insurance is just a massive scam really” never have truer words been said my friend 😂😂👏 it’s actually crazy to think about the amount of money I’ve spent on insurance in ten years of driving and never once had an accident or needed to use them so got nothing back from it .

      Don't worry, when you do finally need to make a claim they will do everything to ensure you still don't get anything out of it.

    I had the 2012 model for almost 4 years as my second car.
    Unfortunately, where I live, we had only two engine\gearbox combinations:
    1.2 75hp with manual gearbox.
    1.6 110hp with automatic gearbox.
    Both of them were equipped with cruise control, original head unit (with AUX and control from the steering wheel), A\C is standard where I live on every car, front electric windows, electric mirrors, 6 air bags, ABS and ESP.
    I had the 1.2, it was pretty cheap here (the manual version was 7500 euro cheaper than the automatic), the car was comfortable and fuel efficient (5.5-5.9L/100KM) but painfully slow.

    I definitely think something like a corsa is better for learning, I struggled learning on my 1.1l 2009 dynamique as it was difficult as a new driver understanding the way this cars clutch works compared to my sisters corsa which was just hold the clutch and you go, my clio was hold the clutch and go 0.1mph, rev up to 2000-3000rpm and you crawl which made pulling off at junctions a bit tense and scary as a new driver

    Had 2010 Imusic for 13years. No problems with it. Engine died due to me not putting oil in a few weeks ago. Totally my fault. Would totally recommend this car to anyone. I paid about £240 a year insurance. Got 27yrs no claims. Just bought a 2017 corsa 1.4 and its £210 a year. I used to have a MR2 with £500 year insurance when i was 26yrs old, but insurance is a total scam these days.

    Great first car! I have the same one currently in my first year of driving, paid 1400 for 1st year insurance with a black box in this exact car but a 2012 version. The car isn’t fast but like you say it gets the job done and what more can you ask for from a first car except no problems 👍🏼

    Tenho um Clio destes há 3 anos e nunca (nem por uma vez!) me deu qualquer problema! Podia escrever em Inglês mas não me apetece. Traduzem de Português para Inglês se vos apetecer...
    Investi quase 700 euros no carro a alterar a correia de distribuição, bomba de água, discos e pastilhas de travões, filtros e um rolamento que estava gripado. Mas isso faz parte da manutenção de qualquer carro, não é verdade?
    Aconselho a todos o CLIO. É uma excelente máquina e dependendo da condução, pode ser muito económico, para além de confortável e seguro.
    O Tom Tom é de baixa qualidade mas nos dias de hoje, usamos o Google Maps e não é problema.
    Obrigado por me lerem, especialmente aqueles que se deram ao trabalho de traduzir e entender o que escrevi...

    Good review, i own a prefacelift extreme spec model which is more basic than yours but has the same engine, i bought mine in 2020 for just £650 which is the entry level price point for these cars as mine is an early low spec model with 140k miles but even my example has served me well overall with good reliability and low running costs, ive made 2 videos about it on my channel feel free to check them out, thanks!
