Changing from an SUV to hot hatch
I currently have a Renault Kadjar 1.6 dCi. I like the car, but the engine feels sluggish compared to the same engine I had in my previous Nissan Qashqai.
I want to replace the Renault as I no longer need a large SUV, but would like to retain the five-door practicality. I basically want a smaller but quicker car. I am looking at either the Fiesta ST Mountune, the Renault Megane GT Nav Auto, or the Renault Clio Renault Sport Nav Lux. What do you recommend?
