Review
kavboi, South East
Pros:
bigger, more room, feels 'all grown up'. feels more solidly put together.
Cons:
Lacks fun and va va voom of old model. Too grown up. some interior plastic feels cheap and marks easily
Comments:
I had a previous model 2004 Dynamique. It was much more fun and engaging to drive. This feels like a sensible but boring VW Golf. More solidly built in some respects, but I'd rather have the fun back - certainly not 'Dynamique'.
Rear speakers, auto lights and wipers now options (cheapskates!) 15" alloys and 185/60 tyres look too small and narrow for the car. Lacks sports styling - Corsa SXI shows how it should be done!
Overall, a competent car but lacks the fun sporty element and to me, a disappointment. I don't think I'll be buying a 3rd clio!
