Couple of friends used to have them (albeit the FWD version), pretty quick cars, think they are 175bhp standard, with closer to 200 with a good rolling road set-up. They handle fairly well too...

But... build quality is not so good, with rattles etc... And they arent so reliable either, constantly needing money thrown at them..

Quadr is the 4wd verion from memory, power OK and handling good but not brilliant for 4wd. French build quality sadly

I had a fwd one company car liked it a lot didn't look like anything special so a good q car

Kept having break problems (warped discs) and the clutch went master cylinder I remember.

Renault dealers were rubbish had a problem with a misfire took it to a specialist and they had put the normal 21 spark plugs in and one had disintergrated.

easy fix to increase turbo boost by earthing the controller in the air box
