Ok, feel as though I need to clarify a few things after reading your comments so far!!! I already have a diesel, its a 150PS Astra SRI, which I hoped would give me a good compromise between performance and economy. The thing is, it just is NOT me!! Yeah, its ok on the motorway but the...

bump

As above really!! Which would you all go for? Bare in mind I do 50/50 motorway driving and cover approx 350 miles per week. Which is supposed to be more 'liveable' with?? I know theyre both fun on the twistys but which would be better on the motorway, MPG etc?? ta

Re: SHOULD I GET ANOTHER CLIO 197?? RUNNING COSTS!! Sorry if I didnt!!! Ok well, the main things I want are something fun to drive, as I spend so long in the car. A car that I have the urge to look after, clean, pollish etc. Something I can really enjoy, rather than just something that...

Its come down to Clio 182, 197, Focus ST or Golf GTI, which one would you lot go for (without being biased)?!? Ive heard the Golf is quite good on fuel, however, more expensive to buy. Im edging towards another 197 or Focus ST!! The idea of a weekend car would be great, but I cant really...

Re: SHOULD I GET ANOTHER CLIO 197?? RUNNING COSTS!! I cant actually remember!! Mine was a '56' plate, pre gearbox change, did the change make much of a difference in economy?? I loved driving it, and would love another I just wanted to find out what people were averaging!!

Hi Guys I was on here a year or so ago now. I used to have a RB 197 but changed it for a diesel due to work commitments. Now I still have the same work commitments but im bored of driving around in my diesel Astra and am seriously concidering getting back into a 197!! My job involves alot...

Do you mind me asking how much you paid?

agreed!!!!

I understand that and couldnt agree more but would you pay an extra £1000 for the privilege?? Its driving me mad. The cars in question are on autotrader, they both have similar specs, ie metallic, cabasse etc but one has xenons and I guess that also means auto lights and wipers from memory!!

of course there is, what else would you call it?? It was a non cup so I always though that would be classed as a Full Fat? Ah well........... I traded in the 197 for a diesel as I was doing more mileage etc but im now desperate for another!!

Hi guys Ive been away for awhile, having previously owned a FF172 and then a FF197 I traded in for a diesel and now im sooo fed up of the noise and smell and general lack of excitement that im coming back!!! BUT.... heres the thing, I can get a nice low mileage 197 without xenons for...

Ive owned both (172 FF and 197 FF) and im looking into getting another 1*2. Much more involved drive imo!!

thanks. £270 seems like a good price from Renault! Is it adviseable to have ot done before 72k?

the car ive been looking at is a 2004 '53' and has done 52000. Is that too many?
