Looks wrong
FLOL.
Looks like its having a stroke!

The problem for me is that the whole concept has become a bit "fussy".
The turbo engine, the gearbox, the 5-door body, general detailing (lack of flared arches) ...
The essence of a great drivers' hatch is simplicity (mechanically and cosmetically) and they have moved away from that.
They may attract a new type of customer but I am not sure they can get people out of Golfs, A1/A3s, Civics with this.
I'd just save a packet and get a Suzuki Swift Sport. Speed isn't everything.

Five door.
DCT 'box with no manual option.
No unique metalwork. A HUGE negative IMO.
No hero brakes.
Small capacity, light-pressure turbo.
Only 175lb/ft(!)
I don't care that it can be remapped.
:dapprove:
No thanks.

Do not care about 5 doors, not brill but they're disguised really well.
Do not care about the turbo, it's going that way and nobody can stop it.
Do not care about the looks as it'll handle superbly and like the 197/200 it'll grown on you.
I'd be tempted....
Wait, no manual. I'm out!

For me if I was in the position to buy this car and didn't want to buy an older car ie 200, I'd walk straight past the auto box clio crap and buy that new Pug 208 gti, looks like it may be a proper gti for the first time in a long time

Something Not French
No manual gearbox is the single worst thing about this, I will not be convinced about frickin paddles.

Cutting out Recaros, Brembo and development of an entire body (3dr) just smells of cost savings. If it all comes out in a cheaper package for the people who want a V8 through the speakers, then Renault may be onto a winner. 
Next limited edition in 6 months with Recaros, Brembos and 10 extra BHP?

At least when everyone was slagging the looks of the 200 it was accepted that dynamically it was an improvement over the outgoing version and still a class leader.
Even if I warm to the looks i doubt I'll be able to look past the fact it's a 5 door automatic

My father in law has got a new Scenic diesel with the dsg type box and in 2 months it's thrown up an overheat error twice preventing the car from starting for 20min. The last time was at the pumps in a petrol station, very embarrassing. Does not bode well for having 200 brake through one.
