Hier noch ein netter Bericht vom "schnellen" Evo-Magazine:
MINI Cooper S v Renaultsport Clio 197 - The Big Match
http://www.evo.co.uk/cargrouptests/cargr...o_197.html
Das Fazit für die Eiligen:
These cars are far from perfect. Both have retreated a little from the purity and focus of their immediate predecessors. The pay off is more space, comfort and refinement. The tragedy, for Renault, is that its car appears to have lost far more in translation. Tragedy? Absolutely. Renault knows how to make a car that would take the Cooper S to the cleaners and leave it on fast spin. It would have the word ‘Cup’ somewhere in its name. Like the bloke in the Guinness ad with the surfing horses, we wait. In the meantime, the grippier, gruntier and more entertaining Cooper S deserves your attention. If only it didn’t have to try so hard.
