Out of the box in standard form, the Clio is slightly quicker, but doesn'y feel like it......
Today, the R5 provides more bang (sometimes literally) for the money spent on it.
The Clio can be made to handle really nicely with some choice parts (found in most Renault parts bins).
I sprinted a R5 for a few years and did loads to it to make it more competetive....yet, after taking a year or so off and slipping into the seat of a Clio recently, I have beaten one of my fastest times in the R5....without any real effort.
The clio is more user friendly when mucked about with too........

Yea its been done, I have both of the mentioned cars now and i like them both in different ways, R5 is much more fun but the clio has that more comfy side too it.

i really loved my 5 and do really miss it sometimes.... got a clio williams now, great little car to drive. not as fast as my old 5 and i dont think it handles aswell when you push it. my 5 was set up just right for me. but 4 an all round car im happy with the clio at the moment, its comfy and pretty smooth and alot better on fuel. fingers crossed i should have less little problems with this 1. she not skipped a beat yet. would imagine the 16v as pretty much the same.
