Super TestCar reviews - Renault - Clio - Cup 3-dr hatchRenault modelsStand Out Features24 Jul 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON THE "hot" hatch market is littered with cars that are no more than pieces of jewellery and fail to live up to expectations on the road. Not this one. The Renault Sport has the requisite looks but it also has a smooth, powerful engine and outstanding chassis dynamics. We also applaud the fact that the standard features list extends well beyond sports seats, a suede steering wheel, a mock metallic dash insert and white-faced instrument dials. An extremely good anti-lock braking system, dual front and side airbags and a head restraint and lap-sash seatbelt for all occupants are provided as well. Did you know?Squatting on 15-inch light alloy wheels and fitted with low-profile 195/50 tyres, the Renault Sport has a centre of gravity 15mm lower than a regular ClioAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
