    I love liquid yellow, and they do have a lot of road presence, but...

    They're just so ugly!

    I'm a hater just couldn't live with that arse! Much rather a Clio V6, R27 or even a 200 (in alien green!)

    My mate has the Reanultsport diesel version. Goes fairly well and nice interior

    Thing is I used to work for Renault, I'd never own one again

    I nearly bought one myself 2 years ago. It appeared to handle really well (and all the reviews would back that up) - it felt very planted on the road, wasn't twitchy or anything. Didn't feel that fast, you didn't get the usual turbo 'kick up the arse' when all the torque arrives. Was nice to drive. I'd say if you cna afford it, then go for it - miles better than a Punto.

    Not a chance, R version is too rare and impossible to be 07'.
    R26, that's 230bhp with LSD. Very, very fast, killed MPS, Focus RS, etc on the track.
    R26.R is a brutal lightweight car. Best one Dieppe ever made.

    Fairly sure around the TG test track, and on Fifth Gear, the R26R & FRS had near identical lap times.
