Renault Clio RS Review

If you are ever lucky enough to get behind the leather steering wheel of a Renaultsport Clio 200 LUX or 220 TROPHY you’ll get to experience driving perfection. These tearaway automobiles are as sensible as they are crazy, as sexy as they are reliable and as affordable as they are fun. In fact, these Renault’s responds well to a sporty driving style and is an impressive performer on both open road and built-up urban traffic. Adding to the sporty image of these already impressive cars, the Renault designers have made the five-door Clio RS Range look like a sportier three-door hatchback thanks to the hidden rear door handles which give it an even more “fun to drive” look and sports car appeal.

Overall Thoughts on the Clio RS

When it comes to economical, zippy and sporty, Renault has historically had this section of the market cornered. Today both the Clio RS 200 LUX and Clio RS TROPHY continue this trend and offer you performance, safety, and good looks.
