It depends. If you're looking for a fast manual 2 door at the used price range, it has to be the Megane. As a serious hot hatch, it is almost unmatched by any other, power, grip, seating position. But you need to like the French quirks that come with it. Practicality wise, there's really nothing good to say. But still very fast, special and an enjoyable package nevertheless. Highly recommended for serious enthusiasts.


I've owned the clio rs edc for a couple of years. Superb small 4 door hot hatch, good looking. It is a bit small if you're okay with that. 200hp 1.6t is nice and more than decent. A bit laggy from idle but good response thereafter. With a flash, it'll even match the RS250 up to 4th gear. DCT is entertaining, quick enough and never had an issue with it. As a fast daily yes, but it still is a baby hot hatch so limits are reached more easily.

Are you looking at used only? I think I've seen a few Meganes for sale and no Clios. That either means Meganes are sold because of issues and no one sells a Clio once bought, or no one buys Clios at all hence no one selling.

Personally I like how the Clio feels cuz small and compact, which I'm a fan of.

What he said.

No test drive suggest the seller has something to hide

 

[6UE5t]

Also shows how arrogant the seller is. Even Evos and AMGs can still test drive and this is just a cheap Clio cannot test drive??? Lol give me a break!

 

[vr2turbo]

How to buy without test drive. Even my hyundai I bought years ago from Sunday car mart, can still test drive before deciding......lol

Used car or direct seller? Sometimes you can ask the owner/salesman to drive so you can look for things in the car.

Is it manual or auto? What sort of auto? IIRC it's a CVT auto right? Don't ever buy a CVT car without a test drive. CVTs are stupid expensive to fix/replace.

The clio rs edc is a dry dual clutch

One little issue with my ex clio was when reversing up an incline, there's a minor judder. Only in reverse, I can't say the same for other clios but as far as I've heard, the DCT seem pretty robust
