postheadericon On the road: Renault Clio Eco - review

save polar bears can be boring, says Sam Wollaston

I expected a lot from this car. You know, burlesque dancers take off their corsets, Thierry Henry, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany, a flash of Rihanna, Space Oddity Bowie, Marlon Brando on the waterfront (which could have been a competitor, you know). All that. In short, I expected Va Va Voom.

And that I have is a low power, under the terms of reference, no frills, no version of a car is the excitement of starting to look a little old and outdated. I really used to believe the announcement, I guess. To be fair, this ad is for the entire Clio range, of which there are more glamorous models.

one thing about this car key, though: CO

just 94g/km emissions. Yay! It is, without taxes and without congestion charge in London. Is it really just the usual Clio diesel, with a "green kit" with - low-resistance tires, a spoiler (spoiler alert Sorry, too late), some stuff in the engine and gear. This kit provides eco emissions below the cost of just 105g/km and only £ 94 250. It seems incredible that you can reduce emissions more than 10% so easy and inexpensive to do. It should not be as eco kits for all standard ? Not only cars, but the houses, cows, animals partners.
The good news continues, it is cheap to buy and cheap to run. Cheaper than Polo or Corsa echo echo. The three-door version is, according to city Renault sub-100g/km cheaper there. Jesus, I quote the press release. Sorry.
In the city, which is quite good, especially if that city is London, where congestion cameras can move the moon (being, Boris). In fact, there is room, probably enough to do so from the front, but not if you're driving is dangerous. Maybe not the back, or legs where you can be limited.

Although not a natural highway cruiser, again, it is perfectly adequate. You are not exactly luxurious cocoon of luxury. The fascia (a technical term used by automotive journalists us in the direction of famous bit before you put your feet - but again, if you're driving) is functional (plasticky). But you can rest assured knowing that will go very far without filling: 950 miles it says here. Sorry, I did it again. And this is obviously not if you go over 50 mph. Anyway, you get the idea is to do more with less, not to kill polar bears too many on the road. It's about saving - in the fuel, money, the planet faces. But do not expect too Va Voom VA. What the hell is going on Voom going anyway?
