That wheels24 article is old and realistic 0-100 is as usual quicker than what VW states. Scirroco stock 2.0tsi with has been tested 0-100 in 6.8s. Scirroco R20T uses the Audi TT-S engine which does 0-100 in 5.4s. I guarantee you Scirocco is quicker than this renault 0-100, 1/4 mile, you name it.

Well, I say if you like it buy it!
One thing to remember though: " If you buy it you have to drive it, and a few years later plead with some garage to take it off your hands for nothing "

I have driven a Clio for 4 years and went back to the trusted Toyota brand after having to plead to get a good trade-in price.
Renault is not a bad car, but if you are a budget purchaser it is not a good choice. If you can throw money around you can probably even buy a TATA :)
PS: I will drive a Renault any day before driving a TATA... Had one as a rental once, worst car ever. You cannot feel safe in a TATA by Far!

Renault does buy you a lot of car for the price, but the Trade-In years later comes back to bite you in the ass!

o jis a renault, never again, expensive parts + ***** Service+ crap car = fail

I've had 6, more reliable than other cars and the service is better than any in my opinion . for one thing my turbos never blew, my friends VW polos have been through 3. As for parts, lets see, my car is out of maintenance plan and my repair costs which included a clutch, and other things incl a spotlight i broke and labor still came in far less than a clutch on my friends Audi - and both cars are on competing models.

At least they gave you another vehicle...that's not shocking at all (this is the part where I would have went on about FiatSA and Alfa parts but eish...it's like capped bandwidth...it sucks, but its for the greater good)
