contemplating getting this driving machine when it comes to Australia. Of course i will still have my Type-R, that is if money permits!!

wht do you guys reckon?

Specs:
Renault Clio SPORTS V6
Mid Engined RW drive
3.0 V6
230 HP
300NM torque
0-100km/h in app. 6 secs

some peeps dont like the look, but love it!! and the idea of a V6 powerplant right behind you inside the CABIN is downright sexy!! (see last pic)

so its a or

 

I would not complain if I had to drive one. Nice looks. Reminds me of the turbo magazine with Jay Leno's SHO powered Fiesta, the Shogun...

cars fuglee, but i like the older style new engine

 

I saw one of those in Tokyo last June! My drawers went BOING when I saw it!

 

 

Looks nice. fugly side, but hey, i like it anyways.

No boing in my pants from the pictures. Maybe i'd have to see it in person.

 

Wow the side looks over done. Are those pics stock or with body kit mod?

 

say good bye to your ears.

That car is nice.

 

those are stock pics!
the car looks extreme well becos thats how renault wanted it.! aimed at the car freak! it was based on the Clio Trophy Race car.

i like how the car looks, it has character i guess......

the car is a good handler but apparently in the wrong hands it is soo veryyyyyy easy to swap ends!! hehehe

 

if you bought it you would have two cars in gran turismo

rear engine rear wheel drive is good

car is ugly

 

def a big I love those cars.....


Yager-

 

Thats a very nice car! let us know if you get it and how it feels driving.

 

i actually have loved that car since i saw the press preview about 2 years ago

but CAR magazine does not favor it that much. in my opinion you are asking the wrong crowd because none of us are some what familar with that car.

but otherwise i give it a

i do know that the gran turismo 3 race version of that car has pristine handeling

 

Like the Renault Clio RS a lot myself(won't have a chance to try THIS beast ). One of the best Euro made sport compact I like.

I used to like VW Golf a lot but since I drove one of the Clio RS in Hong Kong. It gave me quite some fun around corners that the other cars like Golf can never provide.

 

cute car~*

 

I like it.

 

Dope!

 

Wouldn't it get hot inside the car?

 

that car sucks big time

 

i think those are ill

 

That car looks yummy

 

side vents are needed for intakes....

 

It doesn't drive that great. Feels sluggish(maybe because of weight and low-yes fairly low- noise), and handles strangely(hence the report in Car mag.). We have a silver one here at work for evaluation, and it handles like an unsorted Porsche-not that i'd really know though.
On the looks side, it looks too heavy with the lower skirts/ground effects/body kit. Other than that, I think it's pretty damn cool for a co. to produce a completely reworked(motor in the opposite end from production) version of a "bread and butter" car. Try finding a domestic auto co. that does that!

 

I would definetly get that if it were offered in the United States. It may not look like something we would drive here, but the car would make up for looks with the performance. I would imagine the weight distribution of the car would lessen the amount of oversteer that are common with many other Front/ Rear Drive and Mid/Rear Drive cars have.

 

That thing is kinda ugly...
