Renault Clio Renaultsport (2006 - 2012) 2.0 16V Renaultsport Cup (197bhp) 3d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I have good taste in cars and I don't follow the crowd. I've had the renaultsport body kit added too, so I suppose it shows I'm different?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They love it. I'm always getting comments from people walking past when I'm cleaning it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Absolutely. I just enjoy the looks it gets. Everywhere I go, I have people stare at it. Reliable, fun.

What are you likely to buy next?

Perhaps the Focus RS, if not that, then perhaps a 370Z.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,650

When did you buy the car?

February 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Excellent deal. It had the upgraded alloys and the optional recaro bucket seats, over 2 years warranty and in perfect condition. 5k less than brand new.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The excellent looks

What was the dealer like?

Very good, not had any experience with renault but they always look at it when I wander in the showroom

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic, pulls well low down, its a real drivers car, you have to know where to change, what gear to be in etc. Smooth engine, a nice cruiser when needed.

What's it like to park?

Good. Afraid of kerbing the alloys. The 'cup' model does not have electric mirrors so its not easy parking it very close to the kerb without hitting it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The passenger speaker vibrates but nothing else

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot, lots of space

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Its the cup model, so it's been stripped with its luxuries. I guess it would be the recaro seats or the steering wheel controls.
