It has been revived in Brazil. The Dacia Sandero is sold as Renault Sandero. Renault Brasil has made a Sandero RS with the F4R engine and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. Suspension was heavily modified as well. Look for it in the internet... you will like it, bro hehehe

Absolutely! and you could add to the list the Clio Williams, Saxo VTS( or VTR whichever it is) and one thing that’s a must is a Citroën Xantia Activa V6 if he can get hands on one of those, because they’re extremely rare but really a proper sleeper. Citroën claims it can achieve 1.2G of lateral acceleration on 90s economy-tire technology, that’s what current porsches do on full blown performance tires!

Gotta love the 106 GTI

Renault were crushing it in F1 around the early to mid 2000's and they really capitalised on it by selling hot hatches. These Renault Sport Clios (especially the 182) were pound for pound some of the hottest cars around at the time. Back when EVO magazine was a thing.

Harry Metcalfe, the owner of EVO, tested a 182 Trophy vs Lambo’s and Porsche’s in the Car of the Year test. Not only did the Clio win the test, Harry called up Renault and bought the exact car they were testing AND he still has it.

Genuinely the most fun car I have ever owned/driven. You could drive it everywhere at top speed and it would just grip, grip, grip. I think it is right up there with the 205GTI and R26 as the greatest hot hatches. Exciting to drive anywhere.

@AndresV0182

The greatest hot hatch of all time is the Clio rs ph2 trophy, literally keep up in the race of Evo diaries in 2006 with a Lamborghini Gallardo

Make more of these affordable hot hatch reviews! Clio 172, Corolla TS and Civic type R EP3 is done. Now it would be great to see any older GTI peugeot or a Fiesta ST150, I think those are also in the "budget" price range and also great starting point for young carguys. Cheers from Czechia!

@@andreacristoforetti2061 Hello. I understand, but you can also do a rough calculation yourself. A petrol engine uses about 0.3l fuel per horsepower and hour. A normal sized car such as a golf needs about 120hp to do 200kmh. 120x0.3 is 36 liter. Divide by 2 (since 200kmh) to get consumption per 100km, and we get 18l/100km steady speed. Plug in general drag and rolling resistance formula to correct for different speeds. Cheers.

Well done. Always enjoy your entertaining reviews.

Holy shit, this is 20 years old. Damn.

i miss mine so much, it was so fun to drive.

I had a 182 Cup in Australia. Really fun car, that not many people really understood about it. Sold it for more than bought it for years and thousands of kilometers later. Did essentially the same things as Aleksander! Fixed up the lining, did a new wheel I imported from the UK (Royale Steering Wheels from memory, good quality) with the same perforated leather and blue band! Man this brings back memories. Thumping motor! Best motoring Aleksander.

Going to buy this shape soon

I'd love to watch more affordable car content :)

One of the greatest little cars ever if you ask me. I would love to drive one one day. I currently drive Clio 2 but it's only 1.2 8V engine, so it's not powerful by any means, but it's still a fun and cheap car to drive and maintain.

Clio RS was my first car when I was 18...good times.

Please do more of the Affordable category!

This is a funny and cute car! Good job Renault Sport! And a very nice review Max!!

How you didn't get the oversteer??? That's one of the coolest things about this car You have no Wight in the back so its so easy to go oversteering.. Just release the fuel pedal in the middle of the turn and you'll see Thank you very much for all of your videos You're awesome

i had one of those! and really is one of the coolest cars I ever had

I had one of these for about 5 years and they are the best fun ever.. you can chase down cars you would not expect in these

What a car! The sound is good btw

love clio this model

I've got one of these, and, it's a realy lifely car ! Get one before the price goes up !

thats why i love my Clio3 RS...

I just have a renault clio 4 of 2013 she has 75 horse power and goes to 180km/h and the feeling is awesome. I can't imagin the feeling of this car :O

Owned this car for 20 years until stolen (to be dismantled at the end...so stupid and sad). It saved my life many times, very reliable and very balanced easy car. Waiting for my 330i, another story but two kids now :)

always check if the bonet closed correctly you never want it to pop open in the autobahn

Love that car. It looks like your mum's shopping cart but it's probably the fastest B-hatchback you could get back then. However, I remember test driving one back in the day, and the power curve seemed to be super steep, so it actually felt a bit weak in more "everyday" rev ranges. Something like a Bravo HGT felt much ballsier, although it obviously was slower when revved to the red line.

It's funny how you casually talk about the car going 200 kph+. Nice video !

The way the cam comes on song at 5500rpm is just brilliant. To think this is only a cam dephaser setup as well, the tone change and aggresive run to the redline from 5500rpm is due to peak efficiency of the cam and intake runners

Amazing content!! How regulations works there about car with swapped engine. I would like see some golf 2 with 1.8t or vr6 engine review it on this channel. There isnt many good quality pov drive of this car around. I'm sure will be an amazing experience. Greetings.

I imported a 2001/01 phase 1 (phase 2 came in june 2001) from Holland to Denmark back in 2018 . So much fun for the price of 2500 Euros.
