Renault is packed fith more toys. Automatic gearbox with paddle shifters is very good. Its better than VW DSG. Car have pretty good ride qualit, and really moden interior with a lots of gadgets to play with.
In other hand, Fiesta is stiffer, more of a drives car.
For spartan mode - Fiesta is to chose.
For most people Clio will fit better and its faster as well, and its even more faster in hand of a non-pro driver beceause of that gearbox.
Im starting to think that its worth its price over Fiesta. Yes its more expensive but You get pretty cool stuff with it.
