Having owned a clio now for the last 8 years we have found the 0.9ltr engine to work well both around town and on motorways . Averaging around 45mpg on mixed driving. The 3 cylinder engine has no cambelt to worry about . Interior has worked and worn well . No defects at all during owner ship BUT the striking red paintwork (metallic) is showing deterioration and is expensive to put right and this would be the only reason for dropping a star off the rating . There are two main services on the car an A and a B service. All they do on the A service is change the cabin filter and do the usual safety checks which costa around £120 the second B service is oil and filter change around £230 but at 36000 miles need air filter and brake fluid change which can add another £120

Fiat Qubo

The Fiat Qubo is a compact, boxy people carrier that makes daily chores feel less like a battle, with a surprisingly roomy interior and clever sliding doors that make loading kids or shopping embarrassingly simple. It’s not trying to be a sports car — instead it’s a sensible, easy-to-park city partner that rewards practicality with low running costs and a cheery Italian twinkle.
