GTVlew, Don't forget that the RS Clio is not designed to be going 140 FFS. It's a hot hatch end of. You can't compare it to a lardy Alfa. It's a far better car on a b, or tighter road and thats it's purpose. My god the RS will make the Al;fa very slow looking where it should be, and that's not a...

No one seems to read all before posting do they? Blaze

Sorry Debz, the first para. was for you, the rest, shall we say is for common sense and all others. Inother words it was not your pleasant replies I was referring to. Either way the poor bu**er has virtually no realistic chance of any recompence. Horrible I know, yet realistic. Blaze

Sorry Debz, how is anyone going to prove a faulty belt? Unless obvious. Even then it would need a scientist to do so. It's all very well and good giving "pleasant" replies, yet reality is where it's at. No way are Renault going to do a scientific experiment, the only option is the fitter as...

Forgot to mention that your splitter is EXACTLY the same as all the others. Plus no evidence of theft. What are you going to do? Still right bummer~!!! Blaze

Why are you not approaching the numpty that seems to have fcuk'd your car. Mate or no mate if he is such a good mechanic, why has it failed. It wouldn't if done properly anyway. Can he show the right reciepts for genuine parts. Need I say more. Sorry has to be said. As in "why have Renaault...

Well so much for "tough on crime and the causes of crime". Don't blame the Police for their lacklustre performance. Look at who's made this daft statement, yet failed in every respect to sort it out. The government sets the police response, not them. Whilst I wholeheartedly agree, "parents...

Duhh, no engine from any manufacturor makes exactly the same power. This ignores the driver. As said read previous posts. Boring as is.

Superb vid. love the way the car does so many bikes. Problem is the basic remap brigade!!!!! as the car hit it's limiter at 8000 rpm. Why do you ever think the car will be faster by upping the limiter. Max. power is well below the normal limiter. Do a lap like that and BANG. BenR, I hope...

Tell me about it Dave, outside lane of a main arterial road (A10), you'd think it was easy to push a 1090KG car by yourself across two lanes with everyone fighting to get past/cutting in. Trouble is, for what??? in 200 yds the traffic is stationary for 1/2 mile. No one can even look that far...

Maybe things have moved on from the Williams??? Contraverstial????????

I wish my car came with those options as standard MrAtego. Far prettier than my interior Blaze PS Edde, yet why would Renault have two/or more differing looms???? No sense and a cheap manufacturing processes would not seem to allow it. Door locks on the passenger side make any sense on UK...

NONE allow one touch on both sides. You have to be the most arguementative person alive. No, you have not seen, experienced all these cars where they have one touch on both sides. Numpty, given you the oportunity to PM, yet no answers. All cars whether UK or EURO have the one touch to...

Sounds like the famous temp. sensor. Been there and the engine can suffer a total shutout. Good luck. I'll almost guarante the the issuue. Get the temp. sender sorted. No way the brakes go into total shutdown anyway. I was stranded on the A10 north, guess what, no one helps. Nearly a...

Cheers guys, hate the answers "well better built", More forgiving", "moving on". In a lot of respects things have NOT moved on. Let's try; fun, absolute fun, and more fun yet. I am not an RS fan per sae, just looked at what's available for the fun I want, over the last 5 years it's the best...

Polarbert, Not as simple as that. I've had all Uk spec examples and none do the one touch on BOTH sides. Remember it's a continental car with the varying specs. An example is auto headlights, the reason is in most Euro areas it is mandatory to turn headlights on in tunnels. It's not...

R8TDL, You've missed the point by a hundred miles. Some people want a true HOT HATCH with all it's inherent behaviours. Small, light, quick in the turn in. Basically what the 197 is not. The mags have said it is not as quick as a 182, even with a better set of ratios. Still, why do you...

Kris 172, what brakes are showing anyway? Could be all standard as far as can be seen from the photographs.

harry, turn up the volume control, you can make it sound as loud as you like

Sorry meant to say on roads as well, you will only loose your license. Acceleration and handling, and top end makes the ST a second class car end of. Shame the threads locked. Seems a moderator might know the result?

Just ignore these ignorant children, every magazine test has told the fact that the ST is miles behind, and not even in the same league. That muppet was a total ahole, even with his claimed RR figures (none of which can give exact figures) he wouls be mullered by a 197. There are even people...

sorry but it would take NO time for the police to find you. 500 Trophys. 29 and either B, P or R, followed by H or U and then the Y on your plate.

surely this is a wind up????????

why ruin a classic? worth less to the understanding owner/potential owner

yeh, funny isn't it all 172/182 variants hit the limiter the same. Cup no difference, just be prepared to slow down slower in the wet!!!!!!! Hit the limiter and you will go slower through the gears anyway Blaze

absolute abortions the both of them, why would any sane and able minded person want these abhorations? Blaze

Illegal, construction and use regs. for a start. Blaze

WOW, what a lot of replies, some good and some just plainly daft. The Cup is top of the range (given the V6 is), sorry no it is not. Who ever heard of as car maker saying a car without so much equipment, makes a car a good place to be, and then state a lesser model is top of the range...

Tests with the 172/182 variants I should have mentioned BLAZE

Much much better than the TG preview. However both are quoting manufacturers performance stats., which every magazine managed to massively improve upon in real tests. I's obviously has shorter lower ratios so should be interesting to see what it can realy do. Blaze
