Renault Clio v Honda Civic Type R - Shoot-Outs

[crackersnack1988]

fitted with the optional cup pack and still cant keep up with the type r, id love to see which one will be the most reliable aswell! type r all the way for me,

[nortybutniceone]

Both are genuine hot hatches,but japanese build quality and long term reliability win every day.

French engineers and designers seem to possess ingenuity unique to that of a 2nd grader.

Maybe Americans will be able to make a car as reliable as Clio by 2050. Just maybe........But I think not.

[Bazic83]

2050? You are being too optimistic about those greedy American auto makers. Who cares about American cars, they suck. Same goes for French cars, utterly sub-par.

[sspope]

Frenchies can build some really good pieces. This Clio is old one, the new one can beat Civic and the Megane R26 can totaly smoke Civic.

[Bazic83]

Smoke which Civic? The UK Civic made by Tyco? If so, hardly worth mentioning.

[sspope]

It's the fastest hatchback around Nurburgring. Period. No argument over this.

[ijaen]

I'd still get the Clio...

[sspope]

Me too but not this one. The new Clio RS has longer wheel base, is roomier and can also bean Honda.

[digitalzek]

what are you talking about the civic won?

[RatPatrol52]

a narrow victory over a French car . . . how sad for the top spec Civic.

[brokendwarf]

Sadly enough.. I need to agree. Type R should've smoked that french rubbish..

@brokendwarf

But it didn`t. Renault is the benchmark in the hot hatch segment at the moment. The new Clio RS absolutely destroys this and the new Civic Type R on the track.

Still, The Honda Civic is better
