Leaning and body roll in a corner doesnt mean it has crap handling...its called feedback, engineered into its set-up, and means the limit is a plateau that you can play on rather than a knife adge thatll bite you before you know it.
look boys and girls. a couple of grand might be a lot of money to yous but it aint to me. as for being a knob, thats you opinion. i,ve had my cup for 7 month. as some dick said about the body roll being feed back, thats what i would expect out of a bloody stock fiesta or ibiza not a so called hot hatch. you dont see or feel no super car rolling about on a track do ya. but as i said previously a few quid and you can get the handling so so.obviously from the way yous all talk you think this car is the daddy. must be the first car with a semi bit of power yous have drove. the only decent clio is the v6 one. bet you use the car every day aswell. SAD!!!!

The Clio Cup is an affordable (or reasonably so) hot hatch. Its not designed (or priced) to be the new Lamborghini Murcielago equivalent...if thats what you want, then dont let us stop you going out there and buying one!
The people here have a common interest...the Clio or one of its many variants, most people cannot afford supercars (or theyd be classed as mainstream), and at this moment in time this is the nearest that some people will get to performance (due to age/income/insurance, etc.,).
If you feel that your car is THAT bad, then get rid of it...We all appreciate that the car has some niggles, but the smiles per pound ratio is far higher in the Clios than in many of the other hatches out there.
172hero, I would quote a phrase from the bible..."go forth and multiply"...Im not religious, but it beats what Im sure other people on here could be tempted to say.
pictures of your weekend car would be nice, then we will accept your criticsim of your own car, but im guessing you either have a cup that has some sort of problem and needs to go back to renault to be checked out, or you dont have one at all.
donnyo sums it all up really, if your not happy then sell it.
I can see 172heros point of view but he prob. hasnt expressed it very well !
Im one of the Selling my Cup brigade only due to the fact that ive always driven elises which are (watching my tongue) IMHO a better car all round - bar practicality.
But coming on here saying its rubbish is always going to provoke a reaction. Its a decent hot hatch - if not the best but a lot of people seem to get thier backs up when its weak points are highlighted. Its a good car but its not the bread and butter. Plenty if poke to embarass some exotica tho on the right roads.

Hey hero ... so if the cup is your sh1t box track car wot is your normal ride?
Im really glad i saved up for over a year to buy mine now
I have a clio cup - was no sure what 2 expect when i first got it - butbut I am impressed more and more every day. It is quality car, and you will not find a car this side of £20,000 that is more fun. It was never my first choice but am so glad i bought it. abs is not a problem, you just have to drive properly instead of relyin on computer aids. In the wet you just slow down - which is a good thing. That is my view - please feel free to sl*g this reply off at any time! And i was going to get a civic type r, have test drove 3 examples and must say it may be slightly faster after 100mph but it does not handle as well and is not as much fun.

i think the reason there are a few cups for sale on here at the moment is down to the fact a lot of people (me included) get bored with a car after a while and fancy a change. in fact a car is not unlike a woman. great when u first have them then the novalty factor wears off, then u want a different one.
