The RENAULT CLIO (1998-01) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V ETOILE is a small, three-door petrol hatchback from a popular supermini range. In the UK it sits among city cars, offering easier parking and lower running costs than larger family cars, while its 1.4-litre engine gives it more relaxed performance than basic small-engine versions. It suits commuters, first-time drivers and couples seeking an uncomplicated everyday car, though the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat passengers than five-door rivals. Mycarcheck.com recorded 14 look-ups across six distinct VINs, a modest sample; checks showed average mileage of 76,000 and annual use of 2,000 miles. Against Fiesta and Corsa rivals, the Clio is known for nimble town manners and a comfortable, simple feel, not a lavish cabin. Checks averaged 3.7 previous keepers and a £100 private-sale valuation; that low figure is historic data, not a current asking price, so check each car's condition and history.
