On the other hand though, french car, very expensive gearbox and no warranty are not words that make happy signs in my mind. That said, Renault didn't build the gearbox, so it might not be another 200 case. Time will tell.

What's that then, £250-300 a month?
That said, your average GT86 customer isn't likely to be interested in a Golf R as they're quite different cars! One is about getting from A-B faster than the Voyager and the other is about having a laugh whilst being practical.

I've not seen a single 200t or NISMO juke round here owned by anyone male or under 40.
None of them get driven spiritedly either

There's a nice looking one just surfaced on RenaultSport.co.uk, Silver, Lux, leather chairs, 12,500 miles, £17k...I'm strangely being drawn towards it!

I've just tried the Used car search on Firefox, Chrome and IE and it doesn't work on any.. That may be one of the shittiest websites I've seen.

If you normally park your car three foot from anything behind you then yes a stupid option :rasp:
They're already fitted to this so what's the issue......

clios have a near enough vertical rear screen anyway so when the wall touches the window you know to stop reversing.
That they're offered on such a small car to begin with.
If a second hand car has them on then there's nothing you can do, my girlfriends civic (bought used) has them. I feel like a right tw*t driving it.
Launch control in a Renault. Stunning idea. Definitely won't break.
It's the lack of presence and width I dislike. Need some arch!

I've said this from the off. Massive disappointment. Renaultsport peaked with the mk3, large vented front wings and nicely swollen rear arches leading into a nice fat rear bumper.
Mk4 - "meh, change the bumpers and glue some skirts onto it"

Getrag gearbox so hopefully shouldn't destroy the box! and the lack of wheelspin Id imagine will make the shafts last longer!

The fiesta has always been a large engine in the standard car hasn't it though.
It'd be like ford putting the new rs in a boggo focus. If it's not hilariously asbo, it can gtfo
If you covered the rs badge you would have no idea

Is that a bad thing?
I think the new Clio looks good, no need to have bulging arches or massive grills, save that for cars that are actually fast.
Unfortunately I imagine the bottom line was no flared arches or no car.
It costs a lot of money to tool up for flared fenders, particularly the rear. There are a million considerations for production. Clearly Renault felt they couldn't justify the extra costs of a different body-in-white offset against projected sales.
It's still not exactly an ugly car.

I'm a fan of the MK3 Meggy 250. They are only plastic stick on bits, and as much as Ive seen Munson and Gally **** it, looks nice and chunky in the flesh, stick on arches an all.
They could have done something similar with the Clio, as it must cost peanuts to tool plastic stick on tat like that.
Remember, the MK2 Clio 172 was only bumpers skirts and front wings. Rear quarters were stock

But they still have that 'edge' though from a petrol heads point of view, don't they? I know to the common motorist 1*2's look like normal Clio's but even the Mk3 looks 'normal' to petrol heads lol. I still like it though...
I'm unsure flared arches would have saved it though - that gearbox has really fvcked it, it would seem.

Great cars, Gaz - if i could find a 250 with Recaro's and xenons i'd be all over it but finding one with both isn't easy or the wrong colour..
These 250's are buttons now, i cannot believe how cheap they are now.

I would just say if you are a hater go try one I think you would be suprised ..
Local garages wouldn't let me have a test drive of one, so went to Ford who practically threw the Fiesta ST keys at me.

This is what makes the Fiesta the superior car ofc.
Never said it did, but f**k Renault thinking it will just sell without even letting people drive one.
I'm sure they are a spot on drive but when its my hard earned cash going on a car not just leasing it for a year then I want to drive it beforehand.
