Driving
Can't really be faulted as a driver's car at home blasting along tricky B roads or track work. Lack of ABS and traction control makes greasy roads entertaining.
Performance
Rapid point to point car when hooked up.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Build quality is better than the 80's equivalent R5 Turbo but still not on a par with the Type R.
Image
It's a little Clio with 172 bhp on tap, a proper hooligan's car.
Comfort
Adequate, ride is firm but no backbreaker.
