well it was a reasonably long journey and I had to arrive at a certain time so I allowed plenty of time , so I didn't have to rush.
Good company in the car so no , I wasn't bored, but yes of course the driving itself wasn't exciting.
Just occasionally I can drive with some self...
has it got the o.e Michelin pilot super sport tyres fitted, if so take care on wet or cold damp roads, they are quite poor in these conditions imo
worth having though because in good conditions they are superb.
id imagine the fiesta with mp215 was a bit more torquey mid range, but flat out...
having done the whole engine conversion thing myself, and discovered first hand what problems can and probably will arise, if I wanted a turbo charged clio I would just buy a new trophy, faultless reliability with a warranty, it will be almost as quick in a straight line, and around the corners...
clutch comment makes no sense to me at all.........just confused by that!
I use the paddles in race mode quite often but then I don't do many miles, so when i do get to drive I'm usually enjoying the car, and for me its at its best in race mode.
if I drove it everyday I might just leave it in...
looks great in l.y, hows the car going a month on?
had mine a year now, still look forward to every drive.
Its nice to see the Trophy getting some recognition and good comments now, not too long ago everybody just slated them.....im just glad I didn't listen to the negative comments.
I wouldn't worry, mines done almost 5k miles now and its still a new car tbh, it hasn't changed one bit in almost 5k miles.....apart from its a bit quicker and a bit more economical.
They are brilliant cars, I don't think you will be disappointed.
Be interested to see how you think it compares...
ive got a pre facelift trophy, its hugely capable when it comes to covering ground quickly, and really quick in a straight line, as said the o.e Michelins are superb.
Awesome car, its a joy to drive....... on fun roads on a dry warm day, the sheer grip from the tyres and chassis is fantastic...
i assume it was in full auto mode when you first took it out, this mode has the slowest gear changes and they can feel a bit like that , did you try the other modes?
i brought mine from Nottingham Renault, they had a demo trophy for sale, which was available for test drive, and they were only to happy for us to drive it...... twice!
