Should I give it garage space?
Those with family concerns and dicky backs would do well to leave the 50 available RS Raiders to people that really, really want them.
It's really ideally suited to track work, not pottering about town, so if you're down with spending hours blasting around the UK's finest wobbly tarmac circles it's perfect for you. You can even take a few mates with you for a blatette.
Noise, handling and speed are the RS Raider's M.O., and one that should be exploited again and again. But it may be a bit too extreme for some. The VW Golf or a 'standard' Clio 200's softer ride and comfier handling will probably suit 99 percent of the Raider's potential buyers far better.
At £20,600 it's expensive, especially considering you only really get a quick Clio for your money, but for 50 people this'll be the pinnacle of excellence.
