Hi All,
I'm new here, and looking for some advice from Clio owners on my next track car.
I am considering a Clio as my next track car, I'd really like a nice, well sorted 1*2 (Clubsport spec). I have looked at comparisons between the 1*2 and the 197 Clio's and read various forums, all from around 8 years ago, which at the time, people were saying buy a 1*2 as they were cheaper to buy at the time. But, now the 1*2 and the 197's are similarly priced in this day and age, is it worth 'upgrading' to a 197? or shall I still be looking for a 1*2.
Ideally, I only want to be spending £5000 ish on a track car. Not sure if you can even get a good Clio 1*2 for that these days...
abit about my car history, I have owned quite a few cars but have only tracked a Megane RS250, E92 M3 &, my current Mini F56 JCW.
I'm looking at tracking a clio due to it being a cheaper car and cheaper on consumables compared to the cars I've tracked previously.
How reliable will they be and which is the one to go for? Any further info is greatly appreciated, as I really do not know much about these![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
