Evo 87 dropped through the letter box this morning; this could be an interesting read I mused...
Very good read it is too; some criticism of for example interior quality and the relationship of second and third gear, which didn't strike me as overly critical, but also 'one or two' ;-) good comments for example:
"OK it's a bit plasticky inside, but they've put the effort into the stuff that really matters. Which say it all really the Clio Trophy is our peoples champion of 2005"
"To drive the Trophy on roads like this is to be grafted into the action, to be come part of the machine"
"The Clio is unbelievable. What is say is not only do you not have to be rich to have fun, but you don't have to be rich to go very fast either.... Just go and drive a Trophy. That is where the benchmark is" [for hot hatches].
Came third compared to various exotica aswell (Ford GT, F430 etc) so not a bad showing for our humble very cheap little French car I thought.
Also see picture on page 112 - sun catching the rear spoiler "just so"
