I think this is the fastest hot hatch you can buy for £20k.

Do like the Renault sport alot of car for the money

very nice cars, but for that price I get the Megane RS250!

 

[mmm-five]

For that price, I'd buy a Z4MC - it is a hatch after all, and quite hot

I've only got two legs & two arms, so don't need rear seats - and I bet you wouldn't want to be one of the fully-grown adults in the back of a Clio for a 1,000 mile trip oke:

lol, have a Clio and do not have a single problem with seating in the back for long journeys

the thing about these cars is that they can be used as a family car (in a way)

I actually like the Clio (well the RenaultSport versions anyway), and have had plenty of fun on track & days out with them - I even almost bought a Clio Williams (the original version) instead of my Corrado VR6 - but I preferred the coupe styling & build quality of the Corrado.

I'd definitely consider one as a second car, if I needed one.

I like the seats ............... thats about it!

HOW MUCH?

I bought my 2004 brand new Clio 172 (the equivalent car at the time) at the time for £10,800...

+1 and the 182. Great cars.

i had a 182 cup few years ago, it had all the best bits stripped out to make it lighter, then whoever bought it from new had them all put back on, it had every option possible, quick little ar, but everything that could wrong with it, DID, and if you think BMW stealers are bad, renault make them look like saints

For £20k, you get G-Force/lap time display, Recaro bucket seats and 200hp. Limited edition (only 50 will be made). It seems a bargain.

 

[bigshurv]

NAH, still rather have a Z4MC. You could get into a half decent 911 for £ 20k,not a souped up shopping car.Did the hot hatch thing when I was younger,was fun (Renault 5 GT turbo "Raider"), but have moved on now I'm getting on a bit.

My irony detector just melted...

(or you're being genuine and I'm epically FAILing)


Agree with the others: if you think BMW dealers don't offer great service (and in my limited experience so far I think they're great), try Renault on for size. Electronics in French cars tend to go wrong yet Renault insist on loading their cars up with them then wringing their hands of you when (not if) they go wrong.

disagree, have had 2 Renault's in the past 6 years and nothing major have gone wrong and dealer has been great! not the same can be said about BMW though oke:

Hmm, my experience was 4 different Renault dealers, 14 visits in a 10-month period and they STILL didn't resolve the problems, verbal abuse from 1 dealership, blatantly lied to by 3 of them, fobbed off by all 4, and at the end Renault UK refused to help and said I had to take it up with the dealerships!

I'd expect perhaps the odd dealership to be shite, but not 4 of them.

So no matter how good any Renault in future is, I will NEVER buy another!
