I mentioned it last time they asked about the best French cars. This little thing is awesome. I own a regular 182 and it's a blast to drive and ten years after it came out, it can still give the new hot hatches a run for their money.

Clio 172 and 182, a hair over 1,000 kilos and the most agile chasis in decades. I drive one every day and it can keep up with modern hot hatches like A5 and A6 GTIs. It brought back the hot hatch madness at a time when the Golf was going numb.
