i have only had one experience with them, thats was me letting one get along side and then leaving it with ease in the astra van, did it few times in the end he was just smiling about it! then i just put foot down and left him!
think he was little dissapointed in his brand new "RS" being beat by a van! was very fun!
they have same tecnology suspension as the clio 197/200 so i can imagine the grip etc and bet they are really fun car:-) just suffer from wot most cars do these days...............

I have driven 172 Cup on the road and they handle fantastically. However one beating one on the road, not a fokin chance in hell sorry.
It was a 200cup, and a video on youtube by Autocar, so a proper test with proper drivers. Focus is obviously faster, but the Clio keeps up with ease. Its not a supercar, its a Focus with 50bhp more than an St.

The vid with the Clio and RS, is that when the Clio is behind it? Which will obviously give the Clio an advantage.

White can look a bit plain, especially when you see it side to dise with a green one.

I think if I got any thing other than green I would always see green ones and feel like I made the wrong choice.

green would be nice but a bugger to sell on
Its like the orange St's - at the time they looked great but they look a bit stupid now IMO
However you do buy a car that you like not to sell on so go with what you want

Can't see him buying another standard RS obvious it was going to be the RS500, your dad has too much money.

Only thing I like about the RS500 is the red seats....they would look mint in a white one!!
Matte Black doesnt do it for me.
