My recently-departed Clio was a base model 1.2 8v.

Keep your foot down and you can make decent progress, as with most things. The handling isn't all that bad, you just have to keep your speed up because there's no power.

With its go-cart like handling it's pretty fun and because of it's biscuit sized wheels it accelerates to 30 quite nicely, but even with my foot planted on the floor it struggles to hit 70 flat out.

Is it highly ironic that it has a sunroof (which is considered luxury) and not essential stuff, or are cars like these designed to have a standard sunroof to compensate for having no A/C?

The primary function of the sunroof is to provide an extra place for the rain to leak in.

Also, the fewer accessories driven by the auxiliary belt (literally only the alternator) the more of that 60bhp is going straight to the wheels! :smug:
