What was the problem? Slow? Unintuitive?

Slow, for a dual clutch auto the time it took to shift were delayed. If only they made a manual option.
I really wanted an excuse to swap the Fiesta ST as the Clio looks better overall in comparison to the bland looking Fiesta ST which looks like any ordinary fiesta with ST badges (my opinion of course). Last edited by EVOX; 13-12-2013 at 08:20 AM. |

Did you switch it out of normal mode?
Is it the Clio 200 RS EDC Sport 200? I like the red looking one in the reviews. |

Sounds like the same jargon but I tried the Cup variant.. Yeah the car overall looks much nicer than the Ford Other than the gearbox and crappy seats it's an awesome hot hatch.. Sounds good too

How does the gearbox compare to VW group's DSG? I don't want to go drive one of these in case I'm tempted... If you can convince me the gearbox really is poxy, then I'll stay right away.

But don't take my word, go for a test drive. I'm astounded by the carsales review saying the gearbox was snappy in the positives section. I think they were drunk |

Ugly useless heap of french crap! With the same back end as the megane.
Anybody see when this was reviewed on TGUK, alongaside the new 208GTI and the FiST. There was very little positives for the french marks, but all 3 presenters said they would have the FiST, and on that bombshell......... |
