people who dont like the 197 are jealous...

[Maxx]

Im not that keen on the 197 or infact quite alot of modern hatchbacks as alot of them are too big thesedays for my liking and also weigh heavier and are full of safety and emission reducing crap it puts me off

 

[Dave H]

The Clio is a bit like John Barnes.....in its heyday it was sporty,lean,and quick...and of course nimble on its feet.Now its a bit of a porker...slower and a bit large around the waist!

 

[seb]

the mk1 boys hate the mk2 as they think it is s**t.

funny how the mk2 boys think the mk3 is s**t lol

click me for futher insight.

 

[S22 JGS]

jealous? LOL
i cant quite happily afford one, simply dont like em personally

 

[dk]

Thought I would join in with the comedy thread

i love the look of them, especially the R27 but i hate the drive personally.

As for not being able to afford one, damn right, but thats because my R26 arrives in a couple of weeks

 

[SBV116]

This argument still going on, the 197 WILL be the next 172/182! each to there own though! give it 2 or 3 years!

 

[Christopher]

lol!

a lot of people on here, myself included, could afford one. we just don't feel they are worth the money yet.

...that, and the fact that they're slow, fat and fugly!

 

[197ant]

My TV's pretty small, love the 197, any 1*2 drivers in the Leicester area up for showing me how much slower my 197 is to their cars lol, I'm sure even if they are slower it's hardly noticeable, I heard the 197's were better on handling as well compared to the non cup 1*2's.

Not sure about these old woman comments, never seen a woman driving one. Even if they do have one it's because they've been around and had a lot of experience in life to know what a good car is when they see one.

Emmm, I'll stop drewling now and wipe my mouth lol

pmsl .....that's not too far from me :lolup:

For the last time. 172s & 182s look like slippers by todays standards. From the side profile they look like a girls slipper. They rattle and creak their way around the road. The steeering wheel is 8ft in diameter and needs spinning 8 turns lock to lock. Your seats are fitted 8ft from the floor, and with the seat as far back as it goes - the steering wheel is still too close and the gearstick is 8ft away - and has a throw of 8ft between ratios.

The 197 is better. The king is dead, long live the king! Oh wait...

You must be really really tiny

 

[Tony Hunter]

I would have one if it came with the Megane engine in

 

[Brasseye]

same as many models

IE the vw golf gti

mk. 1 wicked car just shame about the brakes
mk. 2 hmmmm luke warm but nicer car (great brakes)
mk. 3 well its all gone a bit limp now but nicer car (oh well nothing lasts forever)
mk. 4 onwards If you want a "hot" hatch dont bother unless your gonna strap a 3L engine in it
and even then its gonna be a bit of a slug

 

[Christopher]

yep, i agree with Tony. get some Meggy power under there and i'll be the first in line!

 

[Fletcher]

I really like the F1 R27, but why would i spend over 17K for a car that isn't any quicker then my 172?

 

[Ollie82.]

Im not jealous....im faster.:rasp:

 

[dk]

lol, exactly the same as me, so i went for a megane with the megane engine in the end.

or the old women are easily conned out of more money by a flattering salesman who plays on the said females vanity, 'oh youl have all the young lads looking at you in this, its a real toyboy puller' lol



tbh the clios are the same as evrything else now, compared to the old uns. too heavy, too underpowered, too big, too slow, they handle ok, but nowt special.

 

[TomS]

shut up dick

pmsl !

 

[Steve]

Maybe, just maybe, we are all waiting for renault to sort out the catalogue of faults they have at present.

Also im waiting for the cup version in white

Or a used 27?

When i get bored with 'tommy'

The Megane is to big for what I need,thats why I bought a cup.I did ask the question at Donington and they said they would hardly sell any Meganes if the Clio had any more power:S
