His voice is like a combination of James May and Jeremy Clarkson

Why don't manufacturers make these types of cars anymore? They're just so cool. More excited to see this than your run of the mill ferrari, lambo, aston, mclaren etc

One of my favorite cars from Gran Turismo as a kid. Forbidden fruit here in the states.

This would turn my head a lot faster than a Lambo, this I can tell you!

Great review. I’ve owned #243 since 2009. Cracking little classic pocket 🚀

Now here’s a French car I really do appreciate... beautiful in blue

Back when manufacturers actually cared about making something special for regular people. Now they don't bother if it doesn't have a good profit margin, and thus no cars are memorable. They're all throw-aways. Look at the BMW M range these days.... does anyone really care about them like they did an e30/e36/e46/e92? No. Those were special, the new ones are just there to meet quotas.

"too many cars in the garage already" Harry, that's a bloody warehouse!

What amazing timing... I've literally spent the last few days looking at classified ads for these! What a cool, quirky, punchy little car.

Very nice video great to see this little monster again. Thank you Harry and Hairpin company. By the way nice T-Shirt Harry, great to see Turkish flag as a Turkish follower.

One of the coolest cars you've done a video on Harry - thanks! I've recently driven a Renault 5 Turbo 2 (and done a video on it) and I totally get the magic of these cars now. Honestly, the 5 Turbo 2 is the most fun car I've ever driven out of everything I've driven. I can only imagine what the same concept in a more modern variant is like.

Great review again. By far the best KZfaqr when it comes to describing cars . If only he would do a alfa gtv 916 V6 review.

Love the mad French. They do some wonderfully daft stuff.

I remember seeing a line of these at a Renault dealership back in the day, with a lightly used nearly new one for £13995. Hindsight is a wonderful thing 😫😂

That license plate is just begging the Clio's will: "Take on me". Always loved this car, especially in this color. Thanks for this review, Harry!

A glorious week ;) Jay Leno review the "Aerolithe" Bugatti and Harry that "diabolical" Clio

God these are jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

A Friday and a new Harry's Garage. The stars have aligned!

Love these, sounds glorious with that V6 too.

The idea of mid-engined V6 Clio is just so lovely. I wouldn't even care if it wasn't much of a car to drive, but apparently it is!

Superb review like always. One of my favourite cars of all time. Absolutely stunning to look at especially in this blue or liquid yellow! Supercar presence and what an amazing V6 engine note, sounds incredible! Good work Harry :)

"...the world has got much more sensible since this was created..." Are you sure about that Harry? Thanks for this wonderful video about one of my bucket list cars.

I'm 12 and I'm already looking at a first car and this is one of my options I've been saving my christmas and birthday money since iw as 10 which has totalled out to around £1000 along with chore money the past two months I know it won't be much going towards this car but I'm going to do anything in my will so I can buy this when I'm 17 or 18

Another great video from Harry! This man always delivers! Greetings from Switzerland.

Being from the States, I was never aware of this car. But I can see my old R5 (Le Car) in that design.

Great vid Harry. I am an 80's hot hatch child. So can completely relate to this. I had a phase 2 R5 GT turbo way back when. The v6 clio has always mystified me. Was lovely to see a detailed honest review of a great phase 2 example. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you, Harry, entertaining as ever! 👍

Such a pretty car. I've loved the look of that car since the moment I first saw one. Thanks for reminding us what a great car that is.

Mid Engine car for the masses! Looks more exotic today and deserves it's classic status. Great video Harry!

Finally been waiting for a review of this car forever its so iconic! doug dumero was in uk was begging him to find one and review it!

15k GBP appreciation, that is awesome for a Renault.

I've owned my identical Illiad phase 2 Vee since new in 2005, and could never imagine not owing it! Every time I drive it, even popping to the shops, is an event and I've never got bored of it! Absolutely delighted to see that Harry agrees and loves it too, since I can think of nobody else on KZfaq whose opinion I respect more!

Yeah definitely enjoyed this one, small car, big engine, big grin and you definitely had a big smile on your face! Didn't know anything these models really, but super impressed with how it drives, looks, put together. Great video 😊

I’d rather have this than a new A-Class AMG and it’s artificial four-pot sound.

Your Thumbs Up 👍 to Thumbs Down 👎 ratio is outstanding, a clear indication of how much we all enjoy your vids👍

So I've dropped absolutely everything to watch. My type of Friday.

I wish these hyperhatches were available in North America... love the crazy looks and would love taking that to the track... nice review, thank you!

Love that little smile Harry gives when he puts his foot down..

I've been waiting for a video on this, thank you for sharing harry.

My fav car channel. Glad these vids has no music and crazy edits.

Thanks Harry. If this car were available here in Canada I would have bought one. Keep up the great work.

really like the genuine love for cars that Harry has. For someone who has driven any sort of supercar to be so interested in any kind of sport car, no matter if it's a small clio or an old one, it's just amazing. You can see he is really curious about the car and just want to drive it. He even owns the old clio whom he passed to his kid just because it is a nice car to drive. A lot of people just forget about fun to drive cars of not so prestigious brands as soon as they have the disposable income to buy into more expensive sport car. Cheers to all those who have Harry's attitude! I love all the sport car that are fun to drive too, no matter what is the brand and I could buy any brand as long as I like the car and the way it drives. All Harry s video are very informative and straight to the point!

Just another fantastic film Harry, than you so much. I have given up trying to second guess what you will review next, but always a delight.

One of the great cars of the last twenty years. Still amazes me Renault signed this off. Can’t ever imagine a mainstream manufacturer doing something so crazy again these days!

Now that’s a real hot hatch, screw the A45!

This car has a proper noise. I never understood why people say V6's don't sound good. The V6 in this, the J series Honda engines, and Alfa's Busso V6's are some of the best sounding engines iv'e ever heard. There are no straight 6's that even come close.

Doesn’t matter what car Harry talks about, I always want one by the end of the video

Always interesting cars presented here. Thanks for the video Harry, they just keep getting better!

I love the fact "you have to trust it just a little bit more then the information it's giving you" probably sums up what I understand of these cars.

That V6 voice is simply wicked. It's so easy to enjoy driving with this kind of hot hatch. Easy to get around all kind of nice, twisty country roads. It's a whole different kind of enjoyment compared to Supercars.

Brilliant Harry. Thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgia behind this model. Had one before I moved upto Alfa's.

Good on ya Mate ! I was that close to buying this car in NZ.years ago ! And I have regretted it ever Since ! As a French Car enthusiast all my life & even my family from the mid 1950' s ! We have owned all the French Marques & should I say never ever regretted owning any of them ! I have owned 3 D Citroen's and loved them all ! From the Cheapest D to The D's Pallas 5 Speed manual , I shall never forget any of them ! I Come home to Australia years ago & bought a Reno Megane Sport Dci 175 ! Still have this magnificent Car ,but tricked up a little to 250 HP & 450 NM of torque ! And still Unreal on fuel providing U use the good Stuff ,as only Great Engines deserve the best on offer ! After 4 sets of tyres just now Shod with Michelin Pilot 4 & the car is like new to drive ! Thank U very much for the video on this beautiful blue Clio ,actually it bought a tear to my eye Watching it ! I am a car & bike Enthusiast ,of French cars ,& Italian bikes & of over 70 years old ,an Engineer ,but never will never loose the thrill & desire of these Wonderful Marques ! Amazing ,thank U & Congratulations Sir ,Great Job !.

I remember this Clio v6 from NFS most wanted, such a lovely little car

Modern successor to the R5 Turbo 2. Everything about it is special and deserves a proper built engine to get the engine to match the extreme looks of the Clio V6. To justify the larger V6 it needs to really put out a glorious heart and soul intake growl and exhaust note to the package. Love the looks and the exclusivity. One of the best looking hot hatches ever made IMO. Looks like a genuine Rallye monster.

Bang on Harry, it’s just pure honest fun. So glad you did this car. Some at Renault really knew how to have a good time, with a wonderful sense of humor. I loved this video. A car for eternity.

My dream car. Renault has not made anything this gorgeous for production, there is nothing like it.It boasts loads of presence.

French cars. Peugeot and Renault and Citroen..I love those..

Definitely have one in my 10 car dream garage

Harry, I am a big fan of you, seriously!! and I love videos like this with cars like this, please improve the audio, I hate going back one time after another to listen what you said! thanks

as always Harry fantstic review. No stupid music, no idiotic screaming or thumbnails. this is how you do it.

Harry's smile says it all. Fun and games with lower power. What's not to like?!!

What a special car. Always loved how it looks. But sadly never driven one. Thanks Harry for the video!

drove the ph1 v6 once and loved the hissing sound of the inlet closing and opening ( i had the engine cover removed) pure racecar then and with the clicking sound of the gearbox when changing gear amazing. its just an expirence like no other car. cause its like a slammed widenend clio next to my then clio 172 (wich i still have cause i love it no matter what) love the video and appreciation you give to these special and sometimes underrated cars harry . love it

I've got one of these and its absolutely fantastic. It has a sports exhaust and its an automotive opera.

This car just makes me smile, always has. Brilliant!

I cannot wait for this car to turn 25 years old and be eligible for import into the US. You are absolutely right in saying that it’s doubtful that anything like it will ever be made again. Fabulous little car!

Go on Harry , you know you want to! 40 k is small change for something that makes you smile as much as you were. Clearly enjoying it. Superb video and thank you for sharing it with us.

From the moment you started driving it , I could tell that you enjoyed this more than 90% of everything else you have done on this channel

Personally I'd take the Trophy every time.

Excellent review as always

Superb Harry, it was great to see the 2 cars side by side for comparison. And yet again you hit the nail on the head, enough power and drama for today’s roads.

Harry, I can't believe there isn't a video with an Alfa Romeo Busso V6 engine in it!

I remember driving one and seriously considering it at the time. Great sound track and as Harry (The Motor Journalist Extraordinaire) mentioned, it’s just good fun. Love the fact that it had no other purpose other than to purely please. If only cars could be made with this single criteria in mind today. Great vid Harry as always. 👌🏼

Thanks Harry. One of my favourite cars.

For me, It's the best natural sound you can find from any car 👌🏼 no fake sound being pumped just pure V6 roar

You should add this to your collection. Watch the video back and look at the smile on your face! Far more rewarding than so many ‘superior’ cats.

One of my all time dream garage cars.....fantastic little V6 weapon.....👍

I use to work for Renault and working on the engine was a pain as the roof is so low at the back, another down side is the lack of steering lock due to the big wheels. However there absolutely awesome cars a friend of mine use to daily a ph1 and got 30mpg out of it, they look amazing and are completely different drive compared to a 182.

One more master piece from Harry, thanks a lot, keep up the good work.

Harry makes me want every car/bike/wheelbarrow ;) he reviews; thank the maker that Harry's Garage isn't actually a real place where you could spend money - I'd come out with a big smile on my face having traded-in a kidney, house, wife, kids, my favorite whiskey glasses etc. etc.

One of my neighbours has a Ph2 the same as that, same colour too. Reg No. "V6 OWOW". Love the Renault L7X engine. Also in Laguna V6's, and Peugeot coupe's of the era.

Harry. You're really good at proving a car does not have to produce 600+ hp to be a proper fun driver. Thanks

One of my favourite memories is sitting out/on thee passenger window with my dad driving trough the tunnel at Monaco as the support race circa 2001-3, what a sound that thing made!

Love your videos Harry - thanks a million for all your work!

It is NOT the fastest of cars but bloody hell, it is engaging and entertaining.

Great to see one of these again. One of my memories of this car was when Jenson Button used to drive for Benetton/Renault and drove one of these at Goodwood Festival of Speed in the early 2000s and was doing burn outs / donuts in it and the marshals / staff reprimanded him for his behaviour. How times have changed, now they actively encourage tyre shredding hooligan antics at that event :)

I can only dream about this car while driving my Clio ph2 1.4 16v

Yet another great video Harry...love your approach and description of the cars you feature...keep them coming.

Watched this with a massive smile. As usual, Harry knows his shit! 👍👍

I didn’t, until recently, realise the significance of the like button.I will go back through your catalogue, and click every one 😀

Super video mate and you could easily forget these cars brings back memories. I knew some one who rolled one of these then brought a new one.

This mad car came from the same time when Renault Sport used to be good at F1 and world champions.

Nothing better than a big engine in a little car, loved my golf vr6

One day this will be my hobby car! I remember how I couldn't take my eyes of it when I was at the dealer when I was a young boy.. I still love it...what a little mean monster... I just love it

What a fantastic little car,, such a shame we can't get them in the USA,,, at least for another 6 years.

Love the Trophy is still going strong Harry !

This car totally reminds me of the ShoGun cars that were made in the 90's, utilizing the Yamaha V6 engine of the Ford Taurus SHO, and placed in the rear of a Ford Festiva hatchback. I'd be willing to bet that the designers of this Clio may have been inspired by that and came up with this beauty 10 years later.

I love your videos Harry. Keep up the good work. And hello from the US of A.

One of my favorite cars from Gran Turismo 3

Fantastic review again Harry. The best on KZfaq as far as I’m concerned.
