its astounding how small things work on my nerves and i think im the only one then i watch your reviews and im like SHE GETS IT!!!!

The previous generation Clio didn’t have the funny boot opening thingy like this one has. I also agree that 5-speed manual transmissions in the new releases of today does seem somewhat primitive, especially with ‘premium’ hatches like the Polo etc. But with that said, I’m so glad the Clio 5 is finally in SA! Thanks for the video! 😍

I disagree. R370k gets u the top of the range Clio, on the other hand to get a fully socked polo you will have to spend Way more than R400k , not to mention the high risk factor with polos. 2ndly the polos will get outdated so fast cz they refresh it each and every year, whereas the clio will hold its design… for me polos are a double NO

I had a similar issue when I bought my Citroen c3 last year but I quickly learned how to open it. It must be worse for Juliet given that she only really has the car for such a short period of time. But I must say that I do love the colour and the shape of the Renault Clio here.

The way I love this car I can ignore the 5-speed thing. Would be a great first car.

You would swear South African car journalists are bought by some manufactures 🤭

Enjoying your reviews. The option of a 6 speed manual or auto is a must for this market and target audience. The economy is not good enough for a 1.0T, I think the extra gear would make the difference. Whats the start price for the range, if you looking at the entry level and what’s included on the base model?

In Europe they started with the 5 speed, but eventually they ditched that and put a 6 speed in it. Automatic is only for the hybrid version.

Would it be a worthy upgrade from the Clio GT Line 2018? Is there going to be a new GT Line coming out?

Car is good looking

Hi Juliet, Lucas’ child seat’s top tether strap is twisted. Please make sure you fix it, a top tether failure can cause head injuries to a child in a crash. It should also sit taut against the backrest, there’s a strap you can adjust to tighten it.

Is the cars sound system good? Like I wanna look cool in it while driving it😂

I think cars nowadays are more about gadgets, screens, etc than the car itself....why can't they make a car car, with good engine, gearbox, handling, performance, a speedometer, rev counter, oil and temp gauges.....? I have to get a new car but it is too confusing😂

the clio in europe comes with a 6 speed mt on the 1.0 tce

That boot opening thing makes no sense. Did no one use the boot before signing the test car/whatever off?

I feel in this review I've learnt more about you than the Renault! 🤪

You got to love the comments for this car 😂 so I agree wholeheartedly that car prices are crazy but come on guys you can't compare a Chery Tiggo (SUV) against a hatch. Very different segments irrespective of its price and the perceived value it offers. There's a reason why Juliette is stacking it up against the Polo

Im sorry to say i hated my vw car the delay in the auto box when you needed to get moving was utterly dangerous. I can say i have just test drove the hybrid clio and its far superior to drive and the interior was better than vw. This will be my next car without a doubt. Personally I think Vw is an overated car it has problems of its own which Vw were totally not admitting too and this has put me off ever dealing with them again. The Clio is awesome.

R360k is a k@k load for such a little bit of car. Would rather go for the Chery Tiggo Pro 4 at that price….

Please do a review on the cherry tiggo 8 pro

Damn, R373k for a 1lt engine. I'm still driving my clio 2,1.2i engine. I just pretend I'm 10yrs back in time so cars made in 2012 are still the latest. So I can still afford the latest cars.

Polo costs a lot more these days.like a MINI price

Are Renaults expensive to maintain and service? I’ve heard they really bad in that regard

She's moaning about everything. How is Clio vs Polo outside South Africa! 😂

Glad SA gets this as Australia no Clio as we get Captur instead - supposedly we only buy SUVs but I love Clios and and Paptue more $ - no Corsa’s (we don’t get Opels at all) either so note to self either move or take out marketing departments @#$&*%

Renault should be investigated for their consumption claims. My wife got a Kiger and even in almost constant Eco mode its hovering over 11/100km

Parts, after sale with Renault and reliability makes me run away from Renault

Test drive the new VW polo

Would have lived an automatic gearbox, pitty its a manual so ill stay away

Mind the language!

I switched off after about three minutes of your comedy routine. In the course of my brief encounter with your presentational 'efforts' I was struck by two things: (1) almost unbelievably had I not witnessed the act, at one point whilst driving you took both hands off the steering wheel for a few seconds - if a police officer takes a look at the video you might well be receiving a traffic offence summons through the post any day soon (2) your observation about the admittedly quirky boot‐release mechanism is beyond ludicrous, claiming you nearly injured your shoulder in the process of getting acquainted with it - I own the same model and it took me less than five seconds to familiarise myself with the mechanics of the thing, the 'answer' being blindingly obvious; I suppose it would constitute an immense challenge if the motorist wishing to gain access to the boot had one ounce less brain than a retarded rabbit (not that I'm suggesting you come in that category I hasten to add). For a car reviewer you make a good vaudeville act! Indelibly memorable.

No no Renault clios they are causing lot of troubles to VW ......I hate VW ...

WHO TF IS JUILET
