If you're in the market for a hot hatch, this is one of the best around - both in terms of adrenalin-fuelled performance and great road-holding.
It's not really surprising that such a great all-rounder should come from a company with Renault's racing and rallying heritage and it shows in almost every aspect.
Earlier models have a 2L 16 valve engine that develops up to 200bhp. This, combined with the car's relatively light weight, means it's very fast indeed. Post-2013 models have a smaller 1.6L turbo engine that loses a little in performance but has much lower emissions.
Inside the cabin there are sporty seats that are supportive even when you're cornering at speed, which the car does with ease thanks to the stiff suspension.
Standard equipment includes cruise and stability controls, air-conditioning and a CD stereo. Later models with the Lux trim also have leather upholstery, automatic climate control and automatic lights and windscreen wipers.
It all adds up to a car that offers a thrilling ride with great reliability too. If you are thinking of buying a used Clio Sport, check out Motors.co.uk to find the best one for you.
