The Clio estate is Renault’s answer to Skoda’s Fabia estate and the Peugeot 207 SW. It shares the same height, width and cabin proportions with the Clio hatchback, but has a much larger boot and is longer as a result. The estate is good looking, versatile and easy to live with, so buyers looking for a compact family car, which doesn’t sacrifice verve for versatility, should give the Clio some serious consideration.
