.. I suppose it is the turbocharged two litre 240 hp engine ?
Can you really feel the torque low down at around 1300 rpm ? And ... does it rev easily till the redline or does the character of that engine make you change gears pretty early (when in manual off course) ....
About the sound you don't like , do you mean the engine sound ?
I just reached 100.000 km with my Clio ... and i must admit that even how much i like the sound of the NA engine ... i sometimes want some peace and less noise

Yes! It is the 2.0 liter I4 engine with 240 hp. The engine does have some torque and is actually quite fast in certain situations. There is no turbo lag, and the torque is fairly consistent (no surges in torque across the RPM range). Overall, it's a good ...
Wilder?

Is it prancing horse wild or raging bull wild? Or perhaps snake and cross? What animal represents the wildness? Maybe it's mermaid with a trident wild?
