RenaultSports have a massive following in the UK. They're considered the best hot hatches (R5 GT Turbo, Clio Williams, Clio V6, 182 Trophy, Megane R26.R, Megane Trophy-R). I’d say the RS 182 Trophy was one the most fun cars I’ve owned. (Sachs race dampers, specially developed Michelin Pilot Exaltos, half leather/alcantara Recaro buckets). All of this for £15k in 2005 (£13k discounted - thats what you call a bargain!). These days you pay £6250 for brakes alone lol the ridiculous pricing takes the fun out of it.
What you call a pointless exercise is adding lightness and making a more focused drivers car. If BMW had done the same, the CSL would have been born.
