I was up there on Sunday cycling. It's a brilliant road, not taken the clio up there yet but I will at some point. I was gobsmacked when I saw the speed limit signs though!
Did you not read the part where I said I can do several 2-3 mile journeys a day through town which would be stop/start? I managed 40+MPG the other day on a 150 mile round trip. My driving is rarely long trips so I don't expect incredible MPG. My focus dropped from 29mpg to 22mpg when I moved jobs.
I bought my 200edc last October after selling my mp260 focus st. I miss the pace of the St but the clio is a massive laugh on twisty roads. I know people slate the gearbox and in full auto it can be a bit clumsy at times but I've got no issues with it otherwise. I generally have the car in...
Of course price is relevant otherwise I'd have a brand new focus RS and not a 2 year old clio 200t? The more a car costs the higher the monthly payments which people do care about.
From what I've read, most of the remaps cause a warning message to pop up. There's a guy on clio200.net whose running around 240bhp I think it was and he's not had any issues at all. His was done by RS tuning in leeds.
I can see where the criticism for the 200 box comes from as I've found it a bit clumsy at times in auto mode. When in race mode I find it fine when giving the car a bit of a kicking.
I've not driven any other auto cars so couldn't compare with other boxes.
