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.
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
