Well I drove a clio sport cup (my cuz worked as salesman for holden/renault) and I had few test runs with that car, I think it's ok but just too agly and too small (it's size of jazz or getz) and some people say it's cheap but in my opinion it's not, remember you are not getting sports coupe (like integra) you are getting small hachback that has entery price of under $20000, so that's extra $15000 while integra is completly different story.
Ok back to driving, car is very responsive, first and second gear is great but once it hits third it lacks power, starts slowing down, cornering is simular to Type R, I would not say better but about the same, brakes are great as thay are made by brambo so that's what you expect from them, probably a bit better than R. I had a race with my cuz, I was in my DC2R and was in clio, first two gears he was in front, once I hit third he was gonne, so I wouldn't even say that clio is better in stright line, maybe I could say thay are about the same with slight advantage to R.
So my final concusion is that Type R and Clio are very simular performers but R has better looks and is in class of sport coupes while clio is small buffed up hach that in my opinon is overprised, you put few more $$$$ in and you get yourself Megan Sport (turbo), ITR, WRX and so on.
this is not from what I read or GT4 so yeah, and people just remember it's a clio, entery level is under $20000, and if you want bang for buck that VW polo GTI is the winner, 1.8 turbo for $26000, add for the price difference you can get stage 2 tune which is around 160+KW with VW warranty included.
