CLIO 220 TROPHY PROVES AUTOMATICS ARE GOOD!! 

Drove one for 8000+kms through a Euro roadtrip in 2017, easily kept up with a Focus RS on the Autobahn in Germany, had a blast following a Lambo and Ferrari through the Italian Dolimites alpine passes, and overall was an amazing and surprising car! Agree with everything you've said, was comfortable on the 8 hour drives, had a ton of power and was well behaved on twisty roads, and super easy when traversing city roads though Milan or Paris etc. I had the acropovich exhaust and it sounded epic :)

Proud owner of this car its fucking awesome

Very underrated nice vid man 👍🏻subbed

100% agree! Massive underrated in my opinion.

Great video and great speaking....own one of these in south Africa and it's made me the biggest Renault sport fan....It might not be the quickest but I have a smile on my face everyday

Very, very, underrated video. Really well put together and nice presenting skills man.

I went to have a look at phase 1 200 EDC yesterday. I must say that as soon as I fired the car up I was really impressed with how the engine worked. At first I had listened to a lot of reporters judging the car on its gearbox, but it seems like now, everyone wants these Clios, since they're very easy to modify and tune, even Renault Sport offer tuning parts for them. At first I didn't look at them as I never thought they'll be sought after like the older generations of the RS, but now my vision on them has changed. I'm gutted I didn't ask the dealer for a test-drive, but I was blown away when I fired it up. And it didn't have an Akrapovic on!

Really liked your video, you seem like a nice guy. The only one I've seen so far talking about the sound system and in depth on the seats, good to know when you buy one. And a lot of accurate nice to know information in there. I subbed

Excellent review. Top notch shots of the car as well. 1 thing to improve is maybe get a set up for the inside footage that is less bouncy

Good review. I’ve owned my Clio RS now for 8 years and drive with the synthesised Clio V6 sound. Fantastic!

Awesome video. Planning on buying a new car in a few months and this was a car I was interested in, think your video may have just confirmed this as the car for me!

Great video

A very useable everyday drive, but also a hoot for a blast down a twisty road. The twin clutch box is the way to go, most super cars have had them fitted for years, manual box is old hat these days. Give it a Map and she flies.

Renault addressed the issue of adjusting the EDC software to make it more responsive in the trophy version.. also engine is co-deceloped with Nissan. The press unfairly critisied the Megan RS when it came out.

Fantastic cars been too Spa and the Ring in mine would highly recommend one

Thank you to @TheDrivenUK for letting me review they're Clio RS220 and thank you for the additional camera support from Lee @LTM_videography

You deserve a sub! Let's help you fund a new cam so you can film the road too! You clearly already know how to make a good video!

I own one of these and they’re amazing cars, never missed a beat! Really underestimated, don’t be put off by all the salty people who write it off without even driving one due to it being semi-auto!

My local French car specialist said to avoid the DCT at all costs, due to reliability. Followed by the 208GTi.. that's worse.. his advice was to buy a Clio with a clutch pedal (I did have one, and reliability was fine)

Nice to See a review where the presenter is not trying to be Clarkson Clone like the bloke from the XCAR review.... Refreshing.................Good Job Jay :)

Nice review 👌👌 you haven't tryed the race mode hold the rs drive button for a few seconds when in sport mode it turns the gearbox really manual if you don't shift goes untill the ignition cut it changes gears even faster (120miloseconds) turns off all.aids etc etc . Best regards

Had this car after Megane 265 and 275. I put about 13 000 km on one in summer of 2017 and another 13k in summer 2018. For me it did not compare to the Megane, seat position much higher, lack of manual transmission. It was quite nimble through the corners but it definitely didn't have the grip of the Megane. Biggest issue that annoyed me was the lack of power at high speeds. It was quite lacking in it above 150 kph and above 200 it started to really run out of juice. Still, I had a lot of fun with it for those two summers.

Tengo uno del 2017. No lo vendería por nada. Es espectacular. Renault, no sólo fábrica vehículos. Fabrica DIAMANTES 💎💎💎🇨🇵🇨🇵🇪🇦🇪🇦

is the EDC transmission reliable??

This or gti?
