Funny as in it makes you laugh like a child driving it, because it's that good.

Fun.

I know there's a lot of 'anti any car that isn't what the forum is based on' goes on, I'm not that person. French clutter is fantastic in RS flavour.  :happy2:

No bother - I know why you wondered, I'm just waiting for the first retard to say something like "I'd rather push my car than drive a Renault".

Get it on track, it'll stun you how capable it is - real giant killer.  :happy2:

I would rather walk than drive a Renault :P on a serous note not many people know Renaultsport are separate to Renault, all built in old alpine factory which is affectively old Renaultsport,  rs is a brand in it's own right, customer care, if you know who to speak to is also excellent, organised track days where they give you the keys to any Renaultsport cars with Renaultsport staff there to help.

I have had Renaults in the past, the major thing that puts me off is the crap local dealer !!

I came from a Renault previous to this as well Candy - Your RS 250 looks ace and I can imagine it being a h00t to drive  :evilgrin:

I was lucky enough to drive a Milltek'ed 182 with a fair amount of work done to it and they're a completely different species of car. A pleasant and raw change of drive imo  :happy2:
