      I haven't driven a Clio Sport or a Mi16, but I can't imagine a Mi16 to be a great deal better than a RS Turbo,which I've had extensive experience with, and which along with the Mi16 was one of the best handling cars at the time.

      By the way I'm currently looking for a 306 GTI6 to buy at the moment.

        My father had a RS for many years. The handling is nothing like as good as an Mi16. In fact his series 6 STi didn't handle as well as my Pug. I wasn't that much slower around Morgan Park in the Pug than I could get out of the STi. Obviously the difference on the straights was night and day.

        Not driven one, only a 306 S16. Apparently they are amazing, but I preferred the longer wheelbase of the 405.

          My RS was Understeer City. Not compared to a Falcodore or Corolla or some-such, mind you, just compared to a sweet-handling rear-driver. I don't think roadholding is quite the same thing either; the RS could be manhandled (by controlling the understeer etc) to stick in all sorts of conditions; but it felt like manhandling rather than finessing ... I've always felt a car that 'handles' does it's cornering through finesse rather than stubbornly barrelling at it & compensating for the drawbacks.
          Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.

            Mi16's are deceptively good, a friend sold his recently, if only I'd had the room and the cash I could have taken the Clubman out of daily service but still had something fun to drive

                    This is a fun car that generates smiles wherever it goes. It is not ideal for long trips unless you are a serious masochist. I did a 320km country run last year, and it was tolerable because I wore earplugs and a full-face helmet.
