Insane car. love everything of it, the hard-ass suspension, the 2.0l T under the hood…

Bought a smashed one for R100 000 which is equal to $15 000 fixed it, now im enjoying it… love the sensation you get when pulling put of a curve…

I was very close to making a purchase on this car, then had to wait for the WRX Sti… but come to think of it, might come back to this, done all the research on it already so…

But once the company car lease rans out, wouldnt mind this car for sure. Love the look of it… in black, red brembos and anthracite wheels, not to mention the rough but raw drive…

Gun of a car to be honest…. again, just waiting now… darn it

Nice car, one of the very few decent front wheel drive cars on the market.. They just dont sell very well in oz and renault resale is shocking, very popular in europe though, good fun car to drive..

Awesome car, though you would always have to back it into car spaces to avoid seeing that monstrous arse its sporting. Then again some like it that way.

It’s a shame Renault don’t sell more cars in Australia. The Megane and the Clio in particular do not get the credit they are due.

Brilliant little hatch. Handling and stopping power are incredible, and the straight-line performance is good. Guess what? It’s not AWD. Renault should enter it in the Targa next year.

Tis indeed a nice car capable of losing your license and increasing you fuel bill. There was a great ad running on UK TV with all the components of the car flying through corridors and halls migrating to the body shell as iff giving birth to a car. Great car with lotsa French flair.

Good car, but the back is something you need to get used to…

I’d love one! I’ve been such a good boy averaging five point something per 100 in my Golf these last 2 years, I could easily turn the tables with my next car and say Dang! I want one of these! Or a V8 Sportwagon. Or something.

God damn it! I wanted Victory Yellow but had to settle for Black. Never mind, it looks all the more menacing and angry in black :-)
