+telenovelas I drive mk1 Clio on the daily basis and when I drive new cars from time to time I have huge problem with the visibility

But they have parking sensors nowadays in most models or you can integrate one yourself. Back in the day, rear visibility was very important.

Parking sensors won't tell you if there is a pedestrian when you drive a new car which looks like a tank.

The Clio probably started that though LOL.

@@Samspianopage It did, the mk2 Clio was a lot heavier than the 106 or 205, there's actually some metal behind the trim in a Clio the same can't be said of contemporary Peugeots

really the mk3 changed the deal about size. they became much larger. but it is quiet common for cars. for instance, mk2/3 golf were 205 competitors while mk7 plays with the 308 in size

the latest ones are massive in the clios.i went to look at one out of interest and was surprised.only reason why i have one on the list is nissan do not offer anything in the class i want.

Well as Chris says, it did look awfully like the 14 or the Daihatsu Sharade. I think what the Clio did was to make Superminis feel abit more substantial. The Fiesta and Nova were very tinny and basic by comparison. The 205 was the same though it was bags of fun, we had a 1.4 and it was a fast little bugger even with 5 people on board. The rest of the gang really made superminis feel primative and something ye bought either as your first car or a 2nd car or whatever, they were just very stingy on spec back then and they were built with the thinnest of metalwork but then again that did make em light and very economical even if they weren't safe by today's standards. I always think because we take modern safety equipment for granted, we didn't have it back then so we were more aware of the fact we could have a crash and there wasn't much to protect us, I think if they released a car like that today if they were allowed to people would be abit more careful about what they were doing when they drove. Just a suggestion.

Other than rust, these old Clios are definitely reliable, the other day I started mine up for the first time in 2 years, new oil and the thing started right up with the fuel left in the tank, 132148 miles (212671KM) on the clock, and it's also got the 1.2L petrol engine.

@@mr.slaphappy3794 yes. They are really reliable. It is a little bit drunk, when we talk about autonomy. But still a pretty enjoyable car. I still have it in the garage, now i drive the 2017 clio i bought recently with my wife.

+tjf4375 :)

tjf4375 I have a silver one just like one in the video - it is a lovely car :>

Cool! I think in styling terms they have aged very well, although unfortunately you don't see many of them around these days. I absolutely loved the clio when it first appeared, it looked extremely modern and well proportioned, and I still think it's a great design. It's really nice to hear you're enjoying yours! :)

tjf4375 I agree. I remember seeing the Clio for the first time and thinking it looked really smart and chic. I remember the rear windscreen wiper being aerodynamic too!

Yeah and they're also reliable little vehicles if you take care of them.

Vauxhall had actually facelifted the Nova, in order to compete with the Clio and Peugeot 106! 😁😀

Mine has 22 years, its older than me by 1 year 😅 its my first car, great vechicle.

@@andreiorlowski9893 I have "97 facelift version which was only manufactured for 1 year, its old af but at least unique as i only saw 2 or 3 in the past years :D, first car aswell.

I still see some

@@verbose2135 It's quite possible your grandma's Clio is rare...

@@verbose2135 I think I have seen maybe two or three Clios of this shape still on the road in the last 3 years so it is very rare!

Im driving one of theese xD very good car.

I own a white mk1 Clio, the 16v 1.8, with the yellow headlights :)

Man, i have MK1 too and i have to say it drives better than some 2000-2005 cars xD

Lifehatepwn Hi can you do a video of your renault clio?

I had a clio 1 1.2 RT MOTOR ENERGY. 256.000km i did a crash, but she give me home safe. Only the chassis was broken(for the third time). My big mistake was spent money for a new DIESEL car! After that mistake, inly petrol cars. If i’ll have some i want ro restore a clio fase i mybe a 1.8 16v

1.4 rt def far nippier than 14 secs 0-60.

@@bensmithkent22 Yyup, my baccara 1.4 takes way less

@@bensmithkent22 yep way off, it was more like 12 seconds with the cat and 11 without, I had my old e7j engine ported, full system exhaust with decat, a 2 litre Laguna throttle body matched up, and a hillpower chip, various other little bits aswell, I stripped it out and it would beat vtr's

WILLIAMS CLIO?

You are decades too late

The 16S variant was available in 1991.

Yeah shit cars - how dare they not look up to much in 2014 as the originals only date back to '72 and the mk2 to '84

@@darrenwilson8042 well he's right in one respect, they were shit cars, unreliable, tinny, and rusted away before your eyes, typically French!

@@superseven220 So the Mk1 Clio was not typically French from that perspective?

That was also my dad's first car 😂

Same :D

i have them both '84 pug 205 1.1 and '95 clio 1.4 energy

I have a 1993 Clio RT 3-door! We should get our two cars together!!

1982paul100 haha fantastic! Where are you based

Im from Macedonia, unfortunately 😁

@@peropero3331 Im in the United Kingdom!......would be a great roadtrip! UK to Macedonia! Stay safe my friend! Greetings from the UK!

No (lol), I think he means the catalytic converter, it helps reduce the emissions made by the engine.

@@mr.slaphappy3794 yeah, cat is short for catalytic converter / catalyst / catalyzer :) a guy i know shouted to me from the garage he works at that he was going to go and pick up a cat - on that particular occasion it was actually the animal, not the emissions device :-P

33 in 2023!
