10 years ago i went to the Renault dealership for the first time. I have been a fan of the small Clio Sport ever since the Mk2 came out around 2001-2002. Later on a couple of my friends bought the Mk3 phase 1 RS with 197 hp, in 2009 the phase 2 came out w...  

Maybe I should do that for my Megan RS F1 R26 as well... ...  

Back in 2010 i tried the Megane RS 250 as well but opted for the Clio since at the time i didn’t like the character of the turbo engine. Your R26 really looks the business , white color, the discrete decalls and the dark wheels. Two years ago i addedthe n...  

And i wil tell why. I drive a Honda Civic Diesel. A story. But when i resume my story, i like your Renault Clio Sport story. Great sporty bomb. Why my car is also the last real great Diesel in it’s segment. It is a reliable car of Japanese make. Toyota an...  

I still have my 2007 Audi A4 2.0 diesel with 136 hp and 320 Nm as well as a 2018. Renault Trafic Van 1.6 diesel with 125 hp and 320 Nm like the Audi but pushed out of a 1600 cc. Amazingly this tiny engine pushes that van like it’s peanuts 😀. Yup diesel en... 

Yes Filip, i agree 100% politicians are killing all what is good. They ban cigarettes, so what is next? Beer free restaurants, and closing friet kottes because people can eat to much friet and that is bad for them? Where is freedom? Are we going to be lik... 

A gas-electric hybrid. No plug-in. No automatic or CVT, just an honest 5-spd with electric boost when you need it. 995cc 3-cylinder with forged pistons (slightly oval), two rings, cracked rod caps vs cut, so they fit perfectly when bolted on, indexed spar...  

Nice car you have there Cazalea. For many years i wanted that Insight, because of the futuristic approach. I could not buy that great Insight, because Honda do not export the car to Europe. We’ve got the CR-Z here, but i made other choices. I always dream...  

Building those expensive cars enabled Honda to sneak in the Insight and build it cost-effectively between the "big $$ guys". When they went out of production at Honda's Takanezawa plant, so did the Insight.

... but for some mysterious reason i am pretty sure that i would really like the driving experience. I bet you i can do better than that 61 US mpg with your car 😜. Offcourse that’s a number one can reach with any dieselcar but try that with a petrol car. ... 

Do you still have it ?

Yes. From Feb 10 2007 to today, about 108,000 miles. First day photo: Aero shape 100,000 mile photo average 53.5 mpg lifetime ...  

A true modern classic. Yours is a great colour. Difficult to find a good one these days.

The Honda dealers "don't want to know" it's a Honda when you come in -- there were so few sold and such different mechanical components (and body panels). It took almost a year of hunting to get a new A pillar skin because they all fly off after windscree...  

I almost got one.

I had the first element in San Diego, bought it the day they went on sale. And ordered that plate the same day at the DMV. I sold the Element for a low price a few years later, to a friend who had fallen on hard times, and he still has it today. I've trie...  

Is it your car park? It could be mine also. All great cars. For you some Citroën fun. > ...  

I like to drive my neighbors crazy, actually ...  

for track days . Pls tell me the LSD standard or have you got equipped?

Relatively cheap ... but very cheap compared to any other car that maybe gives you the same fun. LSD is not standard but if you buy one of these Clio’s secondhand chances are big you want to overhaul the gearbox. Any good car mechanic can take out the gea... 

I like the Megane RS. The old one.

... the more variety the better !

.... you will realise the difference is big, especially the sound 😃

My first car was a 1.4 Renault Clio RT 1995 model! I was 17, so 20 years ago now. Obviously not cool or sporty, but I loved it!

that would have been a lot of fun to drive.
