I need a car that does not leak rain, is reliable, can reach and comfortably maintain a speed of 130 km/h, that costs money normal people can buy.

[@glenncole7721]

I've had this exact same car (albeit in ceramic grey metallic) for nearly 4 months now and I'm very pleased & impressed with it. Not sure why you're getting such poor MPG with it Matt. I've done 3900 miles from new & getting 56.3 mpg - and that's a mixture of all roads - motorway, A and B roads. Onboard computer states that 50% of those miles have been in pure electric mode too - which is saving me a fair bit indeed on petrol costs. The sports seats are fabulous, very comfortable and hugging. My one and only gripe is the seatbelt which is awkward to do/undo as it's under the armrest. I can live with that though.

[@baronvonjo1929]

1.0? Jesus Christ that's awful. You got ripped off. Its ridiculous how underpowered cars are getting while getting heavier and constantly charging more. Smaller and smaller engines but more strain with extra weight.

[@Shockload]

Lmao nice waste of money, 90HP is the same as Sandero except that its petrol not diesel which has very low torque, i bet u gonna have very hard time in hills

[@gp6746]

Don’t listen to these people we have the small engine. It’s surprisingly peppy . Mat is right it’s also fun to drive in an old school way.Ours is a run-about so there was no point in paying the extra 3k for the hybrid either.

[@dominikobe6583]

[@gregorpezdirc2595]

Wel I lost on 1.0, how long it wanna go?

[@waynephatg]

I have this exact car. As a petrolhead I'm amazed how good these are. 38mpg is nigh on impossible! The ventilation fan makes that noise as there are two screws missing from the factory on the pollen filter. Fixed mine myself. Mines does a min of 54 even hammering it. Build, driveability and equipment is unbeatable with heated seats, heated wheel and radar cruise etc. Looked at a Polo which - erm - was bleak to say the least and I feel they are overrated. Never thought I'd buy a Renault tbh but these are so good. Definitely worth a look. The hybrid drive is superb and has the usual EV shove off the line combined with 60+mpg.

[@comanandrei3188]

I bought the full spec esprit Alpine 5 months ago and I'm very pleased with. True, when driving around town it's not the most comfortable, buy when you get out on a mountain road it's just pure joy, especially in Sport mode. The self parking feature might not be available for UK, but I have it and it's pretty damn good when I am lazy. Also, I'd fully recommend getting it with the Bose system. It's around 500 eur, but it definitely delivers when you're blasting it on the highway ❤

[@purwantiallan5089]

Alpine Esprit is basically a sport coupe like FIAT COUPE Turbo Plus...

[@mlakeomen3577]

Why do you think it's not the most comfortable driving around town? I'm considering buying this car so I'm interested to know.

[@comanandrei3188]

@@mlakeomen3577 it's because of the big 17 inch rims, combined with the low profile of the tire (45). Besides this, the suspensions are more on the firm side, which will give you amazing stability in the corners and at high speed, but for city driving it's not be able to absorb all the bumps. Again, I'm fine with his compromise cause when I'm out of town I want something fun to drive. I'd recommend to go for a test drive if you can.

[@ItsDanLatham]

I've got an MG3 on loan at the moment, and I think this is the closest competition - main thing I'm going to pick up on my review is that the Clio has nailed the climate controls whereas the MG has a mess through the screen! I think the two of them are definitely the class leaders now at the lower end of the market, especially in full hybrid config. Alpine trim is also really nice on this.

We could discuss the exterior which I really like but besides that everything is a dwongrade. Why? Well... I have 100hp 1.0 TCE petrol engine that is really good and "dynamic" for what it is. If you drive the car alone or with 1 passanger without tons of bags in a Sport mode you can easly get 10s to 100kmh. Also after the lift they literally cut ambient ligts in the door handles and in the middle near the rear mirror - ant all 3 of them gave a really nice, soft, mist like atmosphere. Also mine has 2 grocery hooks and double floor in the trunk. The console is super solid, there are automatic lights above vanity mirrors, soft touch fake leather on the upper parts of the door and padded fake leather below, only where legs are I have hard plastics... I really don't understand why Renault downgraded the car after the lifting. Lifting is for MAKING EVERYTHING BETTER. Stupid people.

[@J6.2017]

I’ve had this same car for a month and a half and I manage a fuel consumption of 57 mpg, sometimes sixty something on a very good day so i don’t understand why you’re getting 30mpg, perhaps id suggest reset the onboard computer. Overall I’m very well impressed with it, It was an emergency purchase without testing it first and let me tell you, I was incredibly pleased with the drive home. It feels very well planted on the road for such a small car… when you select sport mode it delivers, I did not know it was going to be that fun to drive. My only complaint is that for some reason the speakers don’t sound too loud, they have very good quality sound but not as loud as I would like them to sound. I’m also not a huge fan of the radio controls, it should have physical buttons in my opinion. I thoroughly recommend this car

[@Raven16691]

One idea for a video that I just thought of: Do a video where you get the people you usually do races with and get like 2 or 3 of the same car with the specs being as similar as possible if not identical to see who is the best at the different tests and to also see if the difference is enough to skew results of tests when you compare different cars in other videos. Maybe get a sort of offset that viewers can apply to other videos, at least for the people you set the offset with. To be honest there might be some key detail im missing here, but it sounds like an interesting video to me.

I was gutted to find out that the UK market just gets the standard reverse camera only.

a good comparison for anyone who wants to buy this is the basic trim with 1.0 LPG + all the option available for the basic trim (heated sears, wireless key, aluminium wheels) and the full top spec dacia sandero/sandero stepway with the same engine configuration. the price is relatively similar but the dacia has automatic AC, more space, more ground clearance and a sunroof but the clio has a flat underneath, a bit sportier in the twisties, manual AC, a bit better soundproofing and the platform isn't the low spec version like the sandero one

[@barrieainge4937]

Good review. I have a 2021 Clio E tech hybrid in base Iconic trim and it's pretty well equipped i have to say - i only discovered a few days ago, having owned it for 3 years, that it has an auto main/dip beam function!! Well i seldom drive at night, you see! This latest update has meant the base model now has less kit but it's still good value. Getting 65 mpg so most pleased. Negatives, well the suspension is too firm as are the seats ( all small car seats are the same it seems, why?) Renault deserves to be higher up the sales charts with the Clio.

@@blackwidow7804 but sipped way more fuel, also this one has a much simpler engine, so it really isn't more complicated, modern engines have to be really complicated nowadays to meet emissions regulations so it balances out (also this hybrid system seems to be fairly reliable for now, just had one recall but it was entirely paid by Renault)

Show us on the doll where the hybrid system touched you.

So Toyota has been non-sensing in the past 20 yrs?

[@oskar6661]

@@anemeth9281 Yes. Paying $26K for a Prius when a similarly performing Corolla was $16K? That's asinine, particularly when people pretend they're trying to save money on fuel or save the environment...it's actual nonsense.

This seems like a step backwards compared to the top spec RS line they had; disgusting front end, no Bose sound system, no false floor, less ambient lighting, no 1.3 turbo petrol, no diesel, no surround camera, no auto park (not that I ever used it) I know all these were options, but they really took it from an average supermini to the best in recent years.

Got to say I've recently bought an RS trophy 220 for the mrs. Absolutely love it compared to the mini cooper S. Pops, bangs and goes like stink 😂

bought one in the first trim but with all the options you could put on the basic trim. the engine is 1.0 tce with LPG and 100 bhp. i don't regret paying 2000-3000€ less than the hybrid one, because i ride mostly outside town. i recently done 3375 km outside town + highway at 140 km/h to 180 (it's electronically limited) and i had a fuel consumption of 8.45 l / 100 km (lpg). in my country that means a fuel consumption of 4.18 l / 100 km in gasoline money and i'm 100% sure the hybrid won't get the same fuel consumption soooo it wasn't a good choice for me. otherwise, it's a sporty car, it has uhm... some sort of space in the back, but i had some people on longer journeys and it was allright for them. unfortunately Renault won't sell the LPG version on a higher trim (i understand the fact that esprit alpine is the top of the range but let's face it, 100 hp makes the car more "sportier" than the non lpg version.) i wish they could do that, i mean the automatic AC is a must but i got the manual one. oh and regarding the blank buttons and the false floor: one of the buttons is for the 360 reversing camera and the false floor is a 100€ option (at least in my country.)

Me gustaría ver un reportaje del opel corsa híbrido de 136cv!!no hay ni un solo video en internet de ese coche😡será carwow los primeros?

The definitive review from my friend ❤❤

[@ciarayboydj]

Lovely looking Renault. They have came on leaps and bounds lately. I especially like the mk5 Megane

[@harryspeakup8452]

I don't know why that one has such a drink problem. I did a couple of months recently in a Captur which is exactly the same drivetrain and got a true 58-60 MPG out of every tank brim to brim

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great review!😸

[@orangesonicc]

Wish they were still making the Fiesta

[@riddlerandsa8161]

I am clearly showing my age here, but since when has a small hatchback with 90hp become under powered? When I started driving the base Golf had 55hp and we lusted after the GT or GTD which had, you guessed it, 90hp. Those were powerful machines! ; )
