The RENAULT CLIO (2009-12) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 16V 200 RENAULTSPORT CUP 6SPD is a three-door hot hatch, a compact, practical car with strong performance and a focused feel. In the UK market, it sits above Clio city cars as a specialist, driver-oriented alternative to mainstream superminis, rather than a budget runabout. mycarcheck.com records 619 look-ups across 173 VINs, a useful sample of buyer interest in this distinctive model. The average private-sale valuation is £4,400, with average recorded mileage of 68,000 miles and relatively low annual mileage of 3,000. Cars average about four previous keepers, so check each vehicle’s history carefully. The Cup is best for enthusiasts seeking an engaging weekend car that can also commute, rather than families needing easy rear-seat access. Its lively 2.0-litre engine, six-speed manual and focused handling give it a more involving character than softer rivals such as the Fiesta ST. Check condition and service history carefully.
