Here's the article: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/motoring/hammond/2007/06/29/clio-grand-89520-19376615/

The sound is great as is the car... http://www.autocar.co.uk/videosWallpapers/Video.aspx?AR=225132

It's like those RenaultSport engineers, what do they know about cars?

Check this out! The Clio 197 finishes up in second just after Porsche Cayman S!!! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/202791/auto_express_greatest_drives.html

197 all the way!!! Besides, it looks great in the metal!

I would right away if I had the money

I love those pics, the car looks great!

Thanks for the link, great review indeed!

197 being slow??? This is not what Simon Jean-Joseph (a french rally driver) said when he tested the car... I think Roy you either had a problem with the car or with your feet...

The 197 in Racing Blue is gorgeous!!!! thx for those pics...:)

Autocar: "197 perfectly resolved for UK B-roads!" From Autocar: Renault Clio 197: first UK drive Verdict from Autocar: The 197 is a very special car. At £15,995, it’s a performance bargain –even if Renault has been a bit cheeky and made climate control and automatic lights/wipers an...

it is true that white cars are awesome:

"...they didn’t even know if it will be available in the UK"... Is that a joke? these guys really don't care about their own job!

damn right, probably the best pic of the thing!

lol

Anything more interesting to say mate?

Verdict: "The fact that the noise is the only real minus point about the Clio Sport 197 is a compliment to the sheer all-round success of the package. Exciting, fun, immensely rewarding on the right road and comfortable too, this is the new standard setter amongst hot hatchbacks."...

Verdict: "Clio Renaultsport is a highly desirable package, the best hot hatch yet from Renault. Super handling and great driving fun will surely make this the choice of many." http://www.carkeys.co.uk/launches/renault/10236.asp

Verdict: " The Clio's trump cards include nimble handling, determined grip and a supple ride. But the 197 eclipses its hot supermini peers and even challenges some models in the class above. The latest Renaultsport variant packs VW Golf GTI power, yet will set you back about £5,000 less...

Quote: "the 197 is full of evidence that the team behind it was truly passionate."

Yes, another one! lol http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/previews/68538/renaultsport_clio_197.html

This one?

probably made it up

True but they also have a TOP3 hot hatchbacks which says a lot about them: 1. Focus ST 2. Golf GTI 3. VXR No Clio 182 CUP, let alone the Trophy, no megane 225 Trophy, can they be taken seriously?

Another one! lol http://www.channel4.com/4car/feature/feature.jsp?id=2074

if the full fat 197 has such a positive write up, one can only imagine how good the cup and the Trophy will be!

it's not based on micra, they share the same platform (mainly developed by Renault), it's totally different!

197 in Topgear After reading till the end, feel disappointed as it is just a preview of the thing www.topgear.com

And his (mattbvw) personal view is quite interesting too: I'm sure lots of us have been waiting eagerly for the first reviews of the 197. Although this is not a full on UK road test it looks very promising indeed. I was pleased (and indeed surprised) to see the attention to detail the...

I found this post from a guy called mattbvw on www.renaultsport.co.uk, thanks mate: The article in EVO ( 093 - July 2006) was done in France, back to back with a 182 (with Cup pack) and Jean Ragnotti (the ex Renault racing driver). Jethro Bovingdon was the journalist. The article was a ‘behind...
