i like them, was looking at getting a clio cup, civic type r or something of that nature but you can pick up a 330 ci for less.
I've found that insurance isn't too bad for me either.

Completely different kind of car!!
You can't throw a 330ci about as much. But it does have the RWD and straight line amusement.

yeah the rwd is hard to get used to, feels like ur gunna spin out all the time. good fun though keeping it on the road. So fast on the straights. Feels like driving in an armchair aswell.

Regardless of which model, it will not have the same chuckability as a Clio Cup Jim

The second point was just a general question as the 46 is much better than the 36 and i'm not sure what year it came out.
They are a seriously neutral handling car though, and i'm sure i'd do better in one of those than something FWD and as short and nervous as the Renault.

I don't disagree with your point buddy. But for throwing into corners, you cannot seriously think you can give such a vigorous turn of the steering wheel into a bend with a BM, as you can with a Cup? I know they are neutral, and about 50/50 weight wise, but it positively WILL NOT be able to throw it's nose into an Apex like a Cup Or an Ep3 Type R!
