"a brilliantly specced Clio 200 Cup, which is arguably the hot hatch daddy"

What's it like?

Small man syndrome. It's a small car, so it's decided to go out and be as loud, brash and jumpy as possible.

Yes, it has a dubious name, but see past that and you'll find a brilliantly specced Clio 200 Cup, which is arguably the hot hatch daddy.

It has a harsh, unforgiving ride best suited to smooth roads or tracks, piloting the RS Raider over rutted, nasty British country roads revealed that while it's good fun you'll have to hire a full-time masseuse to sort your back out unless you live nearly freshly paved tarmac.

Ride aside, the 2.0-litre engine's 200bhp and 158 lb ft always feel 'enough'. Well, more than enough - if you happen to have a leg made of metal you'll find yourself in court a few days into ownership.

0-62mph takes 6.9 seconds and a decent autobahn run will see you top 141mph.
