Ive had many manual hot hatches and fast cars, I now have a 220 trophy, its an absolute blast, best hot hatch ive ever had, the gearbox is fantastic especially in race mode, it feels like a proper little racer.
Great review. Very much appreciated. As I've recently been reading up on the Trophy however, I noticed a couple of inaccuracies. It doesn't have a Limited Slip Differential (LSD), and, to clarify, the paddles aren't 30% faster, they have 30% less travel to improve the feel of the change.On another note, I am interested to know whether the reviewer tried 'Sport' mode in auto to see whether that solved the issues he found with the 'Normal' auto mode?
Driven most hot hatches within this year and I have to say, the 208 gti is the nicest to drive, look at and one of the quickest... BUT IT'S NEVER MENTIONED!!
208Gti - engine issues, the Clio here, DCT reliability issues, I'd avoid both and get a second hand Megane RS (manual) or last of the Clios with a manual, if I was looking at a French vehicle.
sorry but next time could you make sure the presenter did not just get out of bed. its like someone just pushed him into the camera view and said Action.
I sold my Mk5 Golf R32 to buy a Trophy 220 and I’m glad I did…Great car!!!
Is it reliable?
RenaultSport are pretty reliable, just their DCT is not the best for reliability. Having said that VW ain't the best either.

Big fan of the latest model Clio - very attractive little motor. Loving the alloys on this new Trophy model too.
Great review. Nice cross pan dissolve from exterior to interior shot.
Sad that we not these Renaults here in the US, but at least the Focus RS is on the way.
great down to earth report
Thanks!
Previous generation was meaner looking, had a manual gearbox, which is a must in a hothatch!
Agree with you but this one cute and more efficient :-)

It's a Peugeot no one wants a Peugeot

Now it’s mentioned in gran turismo 7
Good review - I'm tempted to lease one of these when I travel to France/Spain in a few months.
Beautifull car small and fast :-)
I'm also a Clio phase II 1.4 L owner and i'm happy
But this one is my next clio ;-)
Hi! Did you buy it?
Anybody know if it’s expensive to insure young drivers on?
nice car , its been a long wait for an rs auto , I am going too buy one ! cool
Im thinking of getting one of these as a second car/a quick hot hatch upgrade, will it be worth my while or should i look at something else?
love this car.... would you say the gearbox is as good as a DSG?
No, Renault automatics are shit. The gearbox ruins this whole car
It's a lovely gearbox, and it's used by several brands actually, it's a Getrag unit.
What's going on with this guys hair? It's like a trendy comb over...
Beautiful car. Proper Renault hot hatch.
What a car!
Auto ruins it completely.

I love this car !!
this chap looks like a cross between Lewis capaldi and tubes from soccer am 😂
I'm going to. Buy it 😄
A great looking Hot Hatch
Are these guys from Ireland?
This reviewer is not Faris, however Ryan (black haired guy) is an Irishman!
Would be much more appealing with a manual
How can you drive on right side, never!
Sorry , but the whole review is over shadowed by the elephant in the room..........his hair.......WTF Flock of Seagulls is going on there!!!!
Hey Lion mate that was awesome :-)
اكرم حيدر حساب قديم على
When will Renault learn this car needs a manual!
It's rubbish
what a sad chap
