Buying Tips for the 2023 Renault Clio Mk5
- ✓On 1.3 TCe cars, check the coolant level and look for thermostat-housing leaks rather than assuming all newer Clios are fault-free
- ✓EDC automatics should be tested in stop-start traffic, on hills and in reverse because low-speed hesitation can be missed on a quick drive
- ✓Run the Easy Link screen, digital cluster, camera and parking sensors together from cold because software glitches often show up early
- ✓Hybrid cars should transition smoothly between petrol and electric drive without repeated warning messages or 12V battery complaints
