Renault Clio

Renaults of recent times have always had the reputation of being some of the safest cars on the market and the latest Clio is no different as it scored the maximum 5 star rating from Euro NCAP. Engines range from a 1.2 to a 2.0 petrol in the Renault Sport version. It's one of the cheapest superminis available and you can get it as a 3 or 5 door hatchback and even a 'Sport Tourer' estate, which the dogs will love.
