It's not that bad, especially when it doesn't have a ridiculous color scheme:

That's just crazy...you'd swear it was a RWD the way it's been thrown around those corners...

Great handling it may be, but after a stint like that no doubt the front tyres a totally spent having to both steer and pull the car along :)

love how the arse just comes out :)

and that little clio 200 what type of motor does it have???

edit::: just a 2ltr 4 cly but only weighs a tad over 1000kg. Does the Foucs RS have the in-line 5 cyl turbo motor? If so that lil clio is really showing it how its done :)

Cool thanks for that. Now just strap on a lil turbo to the Clio and you'll be laughing.

Still, the Clio is one second slower off the line to 100 km/h. On the street that matters IMHO. I can't see the Clio being faster than an RS in the right hands on the road or on the track.

but remember how much cheaper the Clio is. That was the point behind the review ;)

Well, it is true, the Clio is cheaper by a fair margin. But then, it looks like is half price compared to the RS, too :D
