Right people I need suggestions for my new car. Its got to be fast, less than 2 years old and fairly low mileage.
I've had a look at a couple of Clio Cups, which were very nippy, but I'm just worried about Renault build quality.
What others do you suggest?

Out of all the French cars on the market at the moment the Renaults have the best build quality.
Most are'nt all that old at the moment so should'nt be falling apart unless they've been ragged to death.

There's no way on earth you'll get a 2 yrs old ITR for even then they're all import like the DC5. You'd get an absolute mint old shape 00X for about £11.5K.

Just found a couple of 01 models around 11.5k. Love the White ones, with red interior.

Thought they stopped making the old shape on an X plate and all the newer shaped ones were imports? You'll not get a new shap one for less than £14K at the minute.
