Renault Clio dCi 85 Exception (5 Doors)
In all honesty, few people buy Clio because they love it. The reason here is also a more important factor. Clio convinces with price, verification, wide service network etc. Okay, national pride matters too, although Clios doesn't do it here anymore.
But this Clio can also convince you with its looks. What are you saying? We inform you that we do not have a special print and our cameras are also optimally color-oriented. Yes this is true Clia can be obtained in Poisonous Green.which is a real revival during the Clios flood on Slovenian roads.
Otherwise, we at Clio are not even used to major revolutions. The quality of materials in the interior has been slightly improved. With Exception equipment, the fact that the parts of the seats that are more prone to wear are now covered in leather is highly welcome.
As always the smart card is commendable, which is still considered over-standard when opening the car and starting the engine. You can find it in the list of accessories, but in our opinion, it is at the very top when you choose accessories. The fact that ESP is optional should not be overlooked, even though Exception hardware is at the very top of the range.
There is plenty of room in Clio. Just be calculating enough and pay extra for the five-door version. Tall drivers can find it difficult to find a seat behind the wheel. The seat is quite high and the steering wheel is quite far away.
We also missed some boxes. For example, we used a jar to serve as an ashtray, most often to store a mobile phone. Among the equipment we found (not that it was difficult to miss) and the TomTom navigation system.
There is nothing special in its characteristics, since non-serial ones do not differ much. The only interesting thing is the remote control, which is conveniently located in a special groove under the gear lever during rest.
Turbo diesel engine in Clio - an old acquaintance from our tests. We have repeatedly described it as very suitable for this version. Its 63 kilowatts does not allow for a very dynamic ride, but it will meet the expectations in everyday road tasks.
Shifting gears with the gearbox is extremely easy and we think it's a good thing. Maybe we skipped sixth gear just to keep the noise down.
The position on the road is fairly neutral, but if you are already exaggerating, the slip limit is quite predictable. Only the steering wheel feel is rather vague due to poor steering communication in combination with electric power steering.
So, is Exception really an exception? Given that we have listed quite a few accessories that you would like to see in such a machine, we would say no. The thing is, yes Clio remains a rule of thumb.
