Default The Clio 197

nice car, its alot of fun i have to say, and you can turn traction off too
It really didnt seem fast when i drove it but coming from a Turbo car to an NA is weird cos your waiting for that power to come in after the 3k RPM.. but must say a really nice car..
And put it up against a Type R Civic and it did that so not bad at all..
Bad thing... The thing has crap brakes and totally crap handling when braking, the car totally wobbles on you! i mean at 80 we nearly had it sideways! just by braking! NOT GOOD!

all in all great handling and good car

I found the handling superb, but the power delivery was so smooth it doesn't feel that fast.

Didn't have a problem with the brembos though.

any harsh braking let the back move way too much. under braking it was not stable. im not talking about normal braking im talking about like 5th to second gear.
3 of us drove it on seperate occasion and found the same problem. maybe it was our car.

Looking forward to see these versions, maybe a lot of weight reduced, make it pick up from low revs a bit quicker.
