What should I look for in a used Renault Clio RS hatchback?

This is a sporty car so it’s best to check carefully for obvious signs of misuse, including any possible track-day use. Check the bodywork carefully for dents and scrapes, and the alloy wheels for any damage picked up by contact with kerbs. Make sure the sports seats operate as they should, and that there are no signs of excessive wear.

Is a used Renault Clio RS hatchback reliable?

The RS hasn’t featured in any of our reliability surveys, but the most modern Clio finished mid-table in its class in the most recent one it appeared in.

Renault as a brand finished in 10th place out of 34 manufacturers, a good result and a higher position than in recent years.
