The handling is fine for me,just a little more forgiving than the DR sim handling. Theres some brilliant,fast downhill stages in Wales & Australia - bombing down those in an Impreza takes some skill to get through without an error!

Isnt trying to avoid the banks on the edge of the track the 'skill' in playing the game hehe... Anyway,the 'gamer' handling' simplifies things,makes it more playable for the casual gamer...

If i had the choice of the two again - id go back to a mint 182. Its something i may do in the future still..

What the hell is going in with this 'half gen' of consoles - its all a mess imo. PS4 Pro outdated now already,and when PS5 comes out in a couple of years,this x box will be outdated - so will MS bring another one out?! This and the PS4 Pro were just made to take advantage of the 4K market....il...

Whatever it is,it represents excellent value for money,be it a 1*2 or 197. If you want a raw hot hatch,you cant go wrong for that money.

I dont think its anything like 2 or 3...doesnt have any of that americanized ''dude!!'' gymkhana stuff for a start. To me,its just Dirt Rally but more in-depth, with Landrush bolted on.

My 200 is a lot worse for fuel than my old 182 - no idea why. 27 MPG atm and my 182 was over 30. Another issue i have with the 200 is when the engine is cold during the first 10 minutes,theres almost no power and the engine sounds really rough - its fine after though. Its just frustrating when...

The inclusion of Spain and Australia is a great addition - i think 'gamer' handling is very playable and feels about right to me - i simply havnt the time to start mastering 'sim' handling. You still have the feeling of one wrong move and your stage is over on 'gamer'. The old Seat felt great on...

Clio 200 at 70 mph is around 4K RPM in 6th gear.....i thought the ratios wouldve been a lot longer. And with an Akra fitted that is a very loud drone on the motorway..

I found the 182 better for a daily than a 200. My 200 feels very highly strung,and ready to go on the track all the time.. If you get a 200,make sure its had the EFI Map to sort out the flatspot/kangaroo issue,which is a pain in the ass.

Yeah,theres a choice of 'gamer' or 'sim' handling....gamer is simplified,more arcade handling,although its still a real challenge. Theres some great rally stages in Spain - some really fast downhill sections..

Really impressed so far - theyve put some great little details in there and its overall more in-depth.....did one of the first races in Rally Cross at Lyddon Hill - one of the AI cars retired in the middle of the track with a blown engine, on lap 1,i narrowly avoided him but his team mate...

The R26 has a certain 'quirkyness' about it which gives it character - all the storage cubby holes in the floor & doors,the landing gear handbrake etc.

My fix : swap it for an R26 next weekend :tongueout:

I went to view it tonight - it does have Xenons apparently,and its keyless start.

I read that R26 parts are the same price as Clios - or do you mean for the 250?

yeah,i just did a quick quote and the R26 came out a bit cheaper than my 200 - but that might have something to do with mods on my 200.

Did you try the EFI map? Im considering it - seems to be the only thing that can rememdy a few things like the flatspot. Other than that,its just a case of living with its 'characteristics' until you get to the b-roads...

31 aswell - but 33 for the 182 Trophy apparently.

Insurance Groups : Clio 200 : 31 R26 :35 That maybe has put a dampener on things! :weary:

Im laughing at this thread @Knuckles as i feel exactly the same way about my 200. Just feels like it wants to be on a track all the time..

I feel better youve said this hehe - maybe its just something you have to live with,and its all worth it when you can open her up. Il strongly consider EFI though...

How can you tell from the pics hehe? Xenons are nice,but its not a dealbreaker for me.

Yeah ive heard of EFI,and its an option - does it remedy any of the cold engine issues aswell? The first 5-10 minutes the car has literally no power and sounds rough.. I just think its not a good car if you commute a lot,no power below the 4K range and a loud Akra exhuast isnt a great combo...

My budget is determined by how much i can sell my 200 for - so i think im short for a decent 250. You own a 200 - do you find it 'awkward' to drive in slow commuting traffic? This is one of the reasons im looking to change - the endless flatspot/kangaarooing that happens in certain locations is...

Yeah he mentioned he works with sports cars - does it look a good example to you? Any idea on what spec that would have (Xenons etc)

whats your opinion of this one mate? im going to view it tomorrow.. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-megane/renault-megane-renaultsport-f1team-r26/7112636

What other spec was there apart from xenons? If its in good condition and has had belts done then its looks really good value for money,it is an R26 at the end of the day. No interior pics could be a telling sign though.

I actually prefer them without decals,it just looks like someone has been sick on it imo.

What do you think is missing from the spec? Its a bit dubious theres no interior pics...
