Aup Calvin I've got a question for you, out of says 10 cars that come in to your dealership how many are faulty? Both Either people not telling you or them telling you there is a fault? Cheers kev
That's got a lot of stickers on it that aren't standard. The turbo on the sides, the RenaultSport on the drls, on the dash. The front bumper insert would have been silver front factory. The exhaust sounds like its got a resonater delete. If you press and hold the RS Drive button it will go in to RACE mode, this will not auto change gear for you, allowing you to hit the limiter, turn the traction and esc off. If you pull back both paddle shifters it will allow launch control. The ac will take a lot of the power from the engine, so if you do draggy times with launch and no ac, you may find that time drops a lot. I had a 65 plate lux in flame red. Beautiful colour. The later 2015 cars were improved on spec, but the facelift cars were the best, overall quality improvements, faster gearbox, better lights to name just a few things. Hugely impressive cars, especially in the right hands on a track. Great to see one on the channel. 👍🏼

I saw the GT Performance sticker and wondered about the exhaust....
Need to make sure it’s been put in Race mode.. has 3 modes, Normal, Sport and then Race.. move the gear lever over to manual, and hold the RS button for 5 seconds, it turns full manual and changes gear super quick, and drivers completely differently. Also, launch control, hold both paddles and brake and throttle and it flies off.

Light weight, dual clutch trans, and a Japanese engine (same engine in the Juke Nismo) with the right set of tyres on these hound other drivers in the lanes. The 220 trophy is the one you'd want though if you were buying one.
Owner of a 18 plate Clio RS 220 Trophy which has a much improved gearbox from the RS 200. It's such a underrated car. Reviews didn't rate them just because they weren't manual when infact the trophy especially has a fantastic auto box, as well handling better and sounding better than any of its rivals but you don't see many about. Great car 👌🏻
For faster shifts, he would need to switch to race mode. Car also has launch control. And it does share a similar gearbox to the 4c as they both use a dry clutch gearbox
Owned one of these in silver with itg induction, gfb DV valve and a stage 1 tune they handle like animals, went to the graveyard sadly was one spicy baguette
Calv, you need to try it in Race Mode, you only tried it in Normal and Sport! It becomes a different beast, ESC / traction goes fully off and the gearbox speed becomes lightning quick. Put the car into sport + manual, then press and hold the RS drive button for a few seconds to put it into Race.
I owned a black one, murdered it out all black. Proper fun car and lift off oversteer like old school hatches. Auto box was crap, but in manual was good and plenty pops and bangs. Really good underestimated car, and actually held its value very well. 👍
I've always been a fan of the RS cars, never driven one this new though... It's a shame IMHO that they dropped the manual option. I always loved how engaging the driving experience is for such a low cost when compared to the equiavlent performance from the german market.

There is also a 0 to 200 Km/h acceleration video on my channel done with the official dragy box.
Almost like a modern day R5 GT Turbo. Feel like they are really fast. But in reality they are not. However, SOOO much fun to drive. And thats what its all about.
if you looked up the manual or just asked uncle Google, you would have found out the right way to set here up properly and you would have had much better and correct timing/fun and experience 😉
I had two RS clios, the original 172, and a FF 182, were blissfully quick on a set of lights and embarrassed a lot of BMW M3/M5 owners in country roads.
First video of yours I watched about the clio rs200. I'm looking at buying a rs220 trophy. Your opinion of it just made me feel more positive about the DSG gearbox. I love your relaxed be yourself manner of car critic. Including your little mistakes. Just makes you more down to earth and someone I can relate to. Don't change a thing. Well done.

100% agree mate,
Mercedes A class models come with DCT. And if you have a A200d or A220d with the 2.2 diesel they have exactly the same AMG speedshift as the A45 first gen. They even have a secret mode for 100ms shift times. And if you get the Brabus D3 tuning pack like i had, then they are only 1.2 seconds off a A45 !. Very surprising and yet still do 70mpg. Real shame Merc have killed the 2.2d as the new 2.0d is not even close.
Calv. If u hold down the RS button the car will go into race mode. The car will then have a Rev limiter and it sounds amazing.
What's happening with the e46 330d tourer M3 conversion ???
Problem with this for me is...... it looks nice an normal basic clio not a Renaultsport
The noise coming from back boot is that normal happen too me when driving on holes
Great little car and love the colour,exhaust note.
Owned a 2016 (pre facelift) 220 Trophy - good fun to drive and quick enough (although not quick enough to warrant a dry dual clutch box), but a nightmare to live with day to day. Chassis is way too stiff for every day driving and commutes. Sold it after 9 months!
Oh I do love hanging out my arse on a Sunday waiting for Calvin to upload
That looks the part sounds like all the grunt is there. A small hatch for the man to have fun in.
ive driven a couple of these Clios at my old job, i much prefer the old 172/182 Clios. much more chuckable in the corners.
It sounds laggy between selecting a gear on the paddle and it actually selecting the next gear.

I came across two cars that I really liked, one is a 2016 - Audi A5 TFSI Multitronic quattro(230hp) coupé with 63,000 km on it, full options for 21k. The other one is a completly different car, 2018 Renault Clio RS - Automatic with parking camera. (200Hp) with only 24,500km on it. Both cars fully inspected in their respective brands with 1 year warranty. Which one would you go for ? I don't have any children and no debt.
