2000 Renault Clio Sport 172 review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really. Oh, everyone is afraid to travel with me 'cos it's so fast...
General comments?
What a stormer. Excellent performer. Faster than hot snot on greased lightning, okay, slight exaggeration there. Slight! Great handling (takes a bit of getting used to) and great feedback through the steering. Beats the VTi I had previously hands down. In short, no problems / complaints to date. And I've clocked up over 3200 miles over the last 5 weeks. Loved every mile of it.
Only bad point - the torque steer is something to watch for - especially in the wet. Fun enough in the dry, but can lead to a skidmark or two in your undies in the wet...
If you're thinking about one, GO ON - TREAT YOURSELF!!! Performance wise this car won't disappoint.
