Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news That's not what I read. An article pointed out that it was lighter than current model and significantly quicker on the 0-60 dash. However, with improved safety standards and EU regulations, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up slightly heavier. Do we know yet...

326bhp in a clio? Ffs...have a word with yourself! That is mental! Lol

Appreciate the comments guys. I thought this car DID stand out from the rest of the range lol. Visually, it is different. As standard, the ride height is lower than rest of the range. I also believe it has a slightly wider track from the rest of the range. The interior finish to these cars is...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Partially correct ;) I love it from all angles. Some darkened xenons on it and it will look sweet from the front. (Like your analogy though)

Blast from the past...resurrected an old thread. Recently changed my 2009 Bocanegra for a 2011 Bocanegra. This car continues to tick all the boxes for me. I have carried out a few modications on it... As standard, this is the car when I collected it ... It didn't take me too long long...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Am loving this car the more I see it. Really liking the colour schemes released, particularly the orange and blue. I could very well be tempted back to Renault Sport with the release of this little wagon. Remap and induction kit will easily get it to somewhere...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Cup pic looks good to me. Looks not outrageously dissimilar to 197 / 200 to me. Like!

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news I like it. I think it is fresh looking. It is certainly a bit different looking. Would have liked to seen a set brembos behind the wheel. The DSG doesn't bother me. I currently am driving DSG and it is fine. However, I would have thought it manual should have...

Don't want to hi-jack this thread, so will mention no more about it after this ... covered 19000 miles now. Have probably bought and used about 6 litres of oil and two services in that time.

Turbo cars will use oil anyway ... I know I add about a lite of oil every couple of 1000 miles. Thankfully I haven't experienced too many issues with my tsi ... but I am very keen to see what Renault bring out next year. Looking forward to seeing their toy.

Not sure on exact cost, but I think they are expensive to produce. I think there is a concern for when these cars come out if warranty ... especially if mapped to dsg gear box ... that is apparently going to be extremely expensive to repair or replace if a fault develops. Apparently VAG have...

1.4 tsi is good and goes like stink. Very very quick off the mark for what it is. I know this engine been rolled out across VAG range and achieved engine of the year award etc ... however, it is not without its problems ... rumour has it, the 1.4 unit is being replaced in 2012 with 1.6 turbo...

Up the Mancs .... trophy would be the most suitable car if you live and breathed Old Trafford lol :P

Yip ... I know what you mean. You can still red line it in a turbo you know lol. As said, just depends what u r after ... I would have another rs clio no problem at all ... but there are alternatives. I enjoyed raking the sh*t out of my previous rs clios ... but I am currently enjoying the low...

Depends what you like .... having to rev the nuts of something to get going anywhere or ... from my own experience, having power / torque available virtually instantly and keep that going right up the power band. All I am saying is, don't be scared or apprehensive about going turbo'd route in...
