Very very nice. Shame about the swirls, but the black looks class.

Thanks mate and don't worry the swirls are going!

One of the better looking new RS's I've seen.

Now where talking, looks spot on in black,

Whats the ride like in these? Getting a bit p!$$ed off with the ride in my 200 haha

Cheers guys for the comments, the ride is no where near as hard as the old 200 but it's still firm . What it loses in cornering ability it makes up in power out out of the corners.

It's like owing 2 cars in normal auto mode it's very civilised comfy and useable, but then you stick it in manual and press the Renaultsport/Race button it transforms everything stiffens up and becomes more focused. Have to say I am really enjoying it

It shouldn't be allowed out of race mode though

These sorts of comments aren't making it any easier for me.

It's bad enough I have to wait until the 28th November to get mine and hearing others enjoying there's is making it far too difficult to sleep at night :001_rolleyes:

Having driven many a car in my 43 year life, I totally agree, after my test drive, I was so surprised at how wrong the motoring press had got this car and how useable a car this was. Like you've said, the way you can just drive around in comfy mode and then instantly change the cars behaviour by a simple press of the fun button is amazing.

I have to stop reading the car mags as they are clearly so bloody biased, I've had 2 x VW MK5 Golf GTI's off the back of the motoring press claiming they were the best hatch car out there only to find that they couldn't corner, very un reliable and had shocking build quality!!!

Like many have said, drive one for yourself and spend a little time in the car and you'll be very very pleasantly surprised in just how good the car is, to me really is a car for all purposes!

Am sure that can be arranged although it might get a bit hairy when it's frosty

Did I also mention it does 10mpg more than my 200, is also £120 cheaper on road tax and is £80 cheaper on insurance

Looks great after the detail. Hard to believe such a new car required this kind of work, I'd never have thought it.

We've come to the conclusion that Anne of little Britain has been washing it before it was actually sold "ah ah ahhhh"
