I love it from all angles. Some darkened xenons on it and it will look sweet from the front. (Like your analogy though)
Partially correct

I'll be honest, i thought i would love mine, but I've not used them since the day i picked it up, i just never feel the need to get involved and take it out of auto sports mode.
say what, thats a turnaround, has your membership running out caused a panic?

Haven't logged on in ages... I quite like it tbf. Don't like the mahoosive diamond at the front. The current crop of RS appeal to a niche market whereas a VW GTI for example appeals to a greater market. You can clearly see what Renault are trying to do to the Clio which is to broaden it's client base. Enthusiast they give zero f**ks about. It's the sales they care about.
Apologies for stating the obvious but I felt like giving my take. Renault have to be clever with the price as four/five door hatchbacks such as the Focus ST can look more attractive a package than the Clio.

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 when the new motor will be available for orders? (or has that already been covered elsewhere in the thread?)

turbo weighs 100kg, they had to future proof it so everyone could get 450bhp out them with a pops and bangs map.

I was talking to the RenaultSport brand manger for the UK yesterday. Apparently all this about engine noise coming through the speakers has been communicated incorrectly.
The engine noise thing is an app that you can install on r-link. You have to download it an configure it etc. it doesn't come with that s**t from factory. It also pops and bangs in race mode on the downshifts apparently.

No idea on weight, but I did find out that RenaultSport have been involved from the start of design. I.e they haven't just been given a chassis and told to make it handle, they've had a hand in it from the ground up.
Didn't ask about weight specifically but I reckon it will be lighter than the current RS.
Cant wait to have a go!

The megane pops in extreme mode, so it looks like race mode is the new extreme mode. Throttle pedal is very very twitchy on the megane in this mode.

According to the angle I dont like the front, the shape of the hood and its big excess lights exactly
The side looks correct except in ... the front ^^
I like the back

guys, It's the economic crisis and for the builders also...
The engineers of Renault Sport had for this first version of Clio 4RS less money than before for the other RS and that is obvious with regard to compared with the last Clio 3RS2 for example...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
Is 3-door v 5-door the reason for this?
i.e. all new 5-door Mk4s are 100 kg lighter than the 5-door Mk3s, but as the RS version is going from 3 to 5-door it's in effect gaining?

Back does look really really good... if the diffuser was black or carbon fibre and it was de-badged (the 'Clio' is huge!)
Maybe if you parked it so you never actually saw the front you could get away with it :evil:

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
In fact like I thought in the start, Renault want with its new Clio 4 and the new 4RS to change its usual customers
And it is succeeding in that...
Its old customers and fans as us dont like in the majority (for the moments ^^) the new Clio 4 and Clio 4RS but new customers like it
I had the proof of that again in my job today
4 of my friends who dont liked before the previous Clio, say to me that they like much more now this new Clio 4...
Incredible for us but true ^^
