What do you love about your renault sport?

T

TST4R

for me i have to say the engine growl and how it puts my passenger to the seat when i put my foot down i love it...and when i wash it i can't help but look it when i park up.
 
I love my 172's stance and how responsive and (surprisingly) solid it feels to drive.


I love my 182's exhaust and the fact it's bright orange.
 
Getting out of it and into the the vectra lol. I did love everything about my old blue ph1
 
The Face of the old fart on the overtaking lane in his BMW after entering the motorway at the same time, with him straight going to the outter lane in expectance to leave me in is exhaust gases.

Well. apart from such things... the grin in my face which i always get when goin a bit faster than the normal citicen does :P
 
how everything just happens exactly how i want it to when driving. Drove on some country roads last week, never drove on it and followed the tom tom's map, best fun i ever had! Turn when you want, power when you want, so much grip. Mate in the passenger seat who is a die hard jap and vauxhall fan (therefore a clio hater) even appreciated it.

Next on the list...Wide track :D

Just hate the french build quality! lol
 
Did love;

  • Quick.
  • Cheeky character.
  • Ability to stick with more exotic metal on track.
  • Cheap running costs.

Didn't love;

  • Massive steering wheel and very slow rack.
  • Body roll.
  • Fragile build quality.
  • Instability at high speed.
 
Positives.
- The handling, power delivery, grip and immense pace it can carry through bends.
- The sheer fun of driving it.
- The fact it can outperform a vast array of significantly more expensive cars.
- The MPG when pottering.
- General running costs and ease of maintenance.
- Subtle Appearance.

Negatives.
- Interior rattles.
- The standard seating position.
- The standard steering wheel.
- Not driving it.
 
5K revs in 2nd gear always tops everything IMO.
I went from a 1.4 to the 182, so having power in every gear and not having too change gear every 30 seconds is a plus for me!
 
the fact that someone else owns it and i only get to read about it when it breaks on facebook, and it doesnt cost me a penny to fix :P

yet i still get to steal the keys when i see it haha
 
The fact it has its very own personality. 1 day it will rattle away & not really feel great & the next day its perfection with no rattles & lots of fun to drive lol
 
The noise.
The cheapness of running it.
The look of disgust from old people.
The predictable handling.
Teh boost.
 
I love the way it's a bit of everything.

It's fairly quick, handles well, comfortable, quiet when you want it to be, great economy (which I wasn't expecting!), smart looking, very subtle.

I think it's a really good all round package.
 
Only use my car at the weekend and have a company car in the week, so its great to get out of the Peugeot 308 hdi and into the 182 for a blast. Love the way it handles, great for a FWD car, love the feedback from the car and is so chuckable, great lift off oversteer ;)
 
The fact it does everything i need. Economical, easy to drive etc. Love the fact its pretty rare, handles well, sounds great, and the thing i wasnt expecting from a newish car (to me anyway, always been early 90's hot hatches in the past) is the fact it feels pretty special to drive, and has something special about it. And its pretty pokey, which suprises a few people!
 
Oh come on Rory you gti sounds better than that 2.0 lump.
 
Cheap to run??? Good engine noise? If you like the sound of stones in a bean can.

Getting bored of mine, want to change but nothing fits the bill. I guess I love the way the engine pulls at high revs and hanging off the arse of far more expensive cars.
 
its ability to outperform more expensive "sports cars" and the look on peoples faces when they realise they have been owned by a Renault Clio lol
 
As said previously, great fun to drive when you want it to be : handling/performance, comfortable when needs be, economical on long journeys, 6 cd changer :)
 
I love:

not looking like a poser with lots of spoilers and carbon hang on's (evo owners how can you park up without feeling embarrased)

power when i want it - economy when I want it.

ragging around a round a bout sitting steady on my coilovers and a big BMW wallowing about in my rearview mirror.

it not being as stealable as its not that flash looking.

it when people say thats a nice wee clio your driving and I put the foot down and unleash hell.

it finally because it reminds me of my nova fitted with a red top I had in the 90's. (and yes I know Im an old git)
