Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Renault Clio 197/200 (2009-2012)

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Renault Clio 197/200 (2009-2012)

Rated 4 out of 54

While Peugeot dropped the hot-hatch ball after the 306 GTi-6, Renault never really let it go. Based on the third-generation Clio, the 197 debuted in 2006, and immediately went to the top of the class. Its fizzy, naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine paired brilliantly with a pointy front end and lively torsion-beam rear for a drive that out-classed the Golf GTI ...

Time to say goodbye The Wind blew in on the 28 December 2010 and has just recently blown away again. It was a long visit, which turned out to be a good thing as a convertible arriving in December is not the best time of year to fully test it's main selling point, however the Wind was still with us ...

Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy (2011) CAR review

Renault’s new Megane RS 265 Trophy recently smashed the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars. But does that translate into more on-road fun? Read on for our first drive of the new Renaultsport Megane 265 Trophy to find out... I didn’t even know there was a lap record for FWD cars. It’s a bit like hearing that Blackburn reserves beat ...

Another chance to drive the Renaultsport Megane - 20 June 2011 Jethro’s Megane 250 was in the office over the weekend before heading back to Renault HQ, so I was quick to snaffle the keys on Friday. It’s one of my favourite hot hatches on sale. Even now it’s accumulated 17,510 miles, his custard-yellow model feels as tight as new ...

Renault Megane 2.0 GT TCe 180 3dr (2010) CAR review

Renault Megane 2.0 GT TCe 180 3dr (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

This is the new Renault Megane GT. Think of it as an RS-lite. The chassis is still developed by Renaultsport but it’s tuned to be more relaxed than the full-on 250 and 250 Cup models. That anonymous Megane GT TCe 180 badge masks the fact that power still comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, but it’s optimised for torque rather than ...

Renault Wind Roadster (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

The Renault Wind has caused quite a lot of excitement in the CAR office, and not (as you might be thinking) because it gives us a legitimate excuse to make flatulence-based puns. Silly name aside, the Wind is a good looking little coupe-convertible, with a clever flipping roof and a chassis tuned by Renaultsport. Add in competitive pricing – the ...

The gods bore a surprising gift to CAR Magazine the other day: the very first and very pristine Renault Clio Williams, a hot hatch that makes many an enthusiast go misty-eyed at the very mention.A small logistical cock-up meant that the Willy turned up on a day when we weren't expecting it – so we rushed out without a camera ...

Renaultsport Megane 250 Cup (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 21 October 2009 09:37

It’s been a big year for hot hatches, with the Golf GTI, Focus RS and Scirocco R fighting it out to name but three. Renault’s last-gen Megane R26R is still a match for them all despite its age, and now the French hot hatch expert is piling on the pressure with this, the all-new Megane 250. What are the headline ...

Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Renaultsport does a rather fine line in hot hatches. The outgoing R26R is amazing, the Clio 200 is brilliant, and we’re all fans of the tiny Twingo 133. And now there’s a new Renaultsport Twingo 133, the Cup. But I can already spec a Cup chassis on the Renaultsport Twingo 133, so what’s new? Pen and paper at the ready, ...

Long-term test update - 26 May 2009 Is there a more appropriate car for our times? After all, how many of us really, genuinely need anything else other than a tiny, fun, practical tearabout for our day-to-day transportation needs? The Twingo seats four, the boot isn’t huge but I’ve managed to fit a Marshall 2x12 amp and an industrial dehumidifier ...
