Read the above link. At least it will have the manual option.
Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I see we're at the "It'll be s**t" stage
Soon to come..
"It's too expensive"
"I don't like the exhaust/wheels/bumper"
"I'm keeping mine!!"
Then as it goes on..
"It's quite fun to drive but I'm not ordering one"
"BillyBob at Renault is doing some good deals"
"Ordered a ClioSport400CupFFWithPacks Trophy. Can't wait"
Followed by..
"It's so much better than the 172/182/197/200. Renault FTW"

Im going to jump on the 'Don't like it' bandwagon because I think a 5 door hatch is less aesthetically pleasing than a 3....and thats just for starters.
Im all for the turbo lump as of course it needs to happen but will the rest of the car its pulling along be the same weight if not lighter than the outgoing model?
Will it feck....ergo less purity.
Im sure it'll handle fantastically despite being lardy....almost like a smaller Megane RS I suppose but I still think the proper, cheeky, fun and LIGHT Clio's died when the 182's did.
Of course the fat, old members will shout down us charvers and hail the onset of heated seats, paddle shift boxes and decent cup holders....

Some say the light purity died with the 182. Others say it died with the Williams. Others say the 205, and yet others would say something else another twenty years younger.
I'm sure that not so long ago, people would have been complaining about the 172 being lardy.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
yes you are right in fact ^^
But for the lovers (as me) of the "GTi Spirit", the main thing is the ratio "Weight/Power"
And if the weight increase, the power must increase too in the same level to keep a good ratio!!
if it is not the case, a car lost the "GTi Spirit" and so an heavy car like the Clio 4RS with only 200hp (even with a turbo engine) lost that and are not a GTi Spirit's car but only a GT car... :-(

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
glad they have confirmed dual clutch is an option, means its deffinately set to be my next car assuming it drives well and looks pretty good, problem with renault as usual though is a year after launch the original will be de valued and unwanted after the cup and fancy versions come out! Good question though, with the development of this new box, would it be cost effectivee to offer one thwn revise it later on with an lsd or will it have one from day one or will it just not get one full stop??

And it will be coming straight from Renault I assume!
Glad it does have a manual option though. Even though if I was to purchase one (long way away) I would prob have flappy paddles. Because Racecar driver.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
you are right too but the easy increase of the power by mod the pression in the turbo the Turbo is not a good thing in a middle or long period for the rest of the engine...

Cannot see the flappy paddle gearbox working on track in such a cheap car.
Holding at high rpm's it will want to shift up just as you let off the gas.
Will wait & see, at least it will have 4 yr warranty & going by the last models thank god!
