It will, it'll be a superb drive, of that I can be sure. Personally i think it looks ace. OK for me its a shame its 5 door only, but i think it adds some front end aggression missing from the mk3, 200 especially

That is pretty much the ONLY even slightly negative comment amongst several hundred words, and you say enough said without ever having seen one let alone driven one.
FLOL...you are a lost cause, go and buy a Fiesta, I'm sure you'll be very happy.

Agree
its pretty cool for all those track addicts being able to upload all there times and stats... Real life forza competitiveness
Will they be offering track day season passes as a package ? That would be great. I know they have done free Renault sport track days in past but this new tech will make it even more tempting...

Im warming to the looks. Dont care for the ever increasing wheel size or extra doors but slammed on some decent wheels i bet it will look amazing. Will definitely be test driving one.

If you actually read my post i was talking about the fiesta. Ford wont do this, but i bet in a years time plenty of people will have done it themselves.

Does anyone beyond the paper shuffling chimps in Brussels actually care about emissions or CO2? I cant say that it is within the top 45,000 thing on my mind at the moment. When the EU implodes in a few years time, will we get proper engines again?

No, manufacturers have seen how efficient small turbo charged engines are and what sells more cars? (apart from looks)economics

This looks ok here. Needs more distinctive wheels though. But what colour would go well with blue?

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779
Your 20 year old Williams will be on the ramps a lot more than a Clio 4 will be though.
and economy isn't just mpg, its overall cost of running, the impact in the environment etc. etc.

And thats mainly because your 20 year old Williams weighs less as cars are built a bit stronger than a bean can these days. Lol

Your 20 year old Williams would likely crumble to dust in an impact that would leave the passenger compartment of the newer Clio intact and probably still with functioning doors.
Any other ludicrous comparisons to make?????

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779
I actually think it would look better with rear door handles. Trying to create the illusion that it's a 3-door fails, because the front door is too short (naturally). IMO it looks odd. Rear door handles would balance it better IMO. As it is, it sometimes looks very slab sided, with a tiny front door. This clearly something that the sculpted plastic trims on the lower body are trying to mask. I don't think a car should need those tricks in order for its shape to look good. But anyway that's just my opinion. And a little bit of fact also.
Pretty promising review though. Although it does seem like one of those 'road tests' that you could write without ever having driven the car (should go down well on here then lol). Personally I still think it looks a bit rubbish, but I shall reserve final judgement until I see one for real. Not that I intend to consider buying one. Too slow.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779
It actually doesn't that's why my comment is there, new car is lower and wider than outgoing one but the overlay shows it to be about 100mm bigger?

Has English subtitles. Looks like the normal Clio handling traits are all present and correct. No mention of the brakes which might suggest they're up to the job.

Agree 100% on the hidden handles, it just doesn't work... It's a 5 door FFS give it rear door handles instead of being embarrassed about it

The traction and understeer are the only things that concern me but looking at the outside conditions (couple of inches of snow) obviously still around zero! i'm not surprised he is getting understeer and wheel spin. There are quick laps on youtube in warmer conditions and others in the snow it may even be his footage ive seen. The warmer weather lap there is no wheel spin at any corner on the track but the cold lap the difference between power down out of corners can be up to 15 mtrs difference and he is still getting it spinning up so ill reserve judgement till i get behind the wheel. If i could get one with a LSD id put my money down now even though ill be waiting till the new year in Australia to get one i'm told. The gearbox and turbo engine are both bonuses for me. Ever driven the new Megane rs 265 ! enough said on renault and turbo motors i think.

Maybe the standard single pots are not up to the job then. Brembos might be an option in the future?
