Maximum baller phones then faffing about with pauper charging cables? Really?
Surely for the sake of a few £s but minimum fuss it should be genuine Apple all the way?
LOL at not going above 6k?!
You've bought a 197/200, but only ever use 180 bhp at the most.
Pointless.
The limiter keeps the engine safe, the revs are there to be used. The beep is so you can use them while keeping your eyes on the road.
Not revving it to the limiter out at least once in a...
Yep. Still miss it...and really wish I hadn't ruined it!

Finance is a wonderful thing for those without the dollar, and insurance is quite reasonable considering they're rated as only 180bhp.
As for future value, I've no idea...I'm in for the long haul, bought the extended 5 year warranty and everything!
Agreed. It's a terrible shame for all the hot hatch fans that rule it out on this basis as it's the best successor to the previous gen Clio 200 there is. Easily as good as...and actually way better in my opinion having owned both.
The pricing though means most are owned by 17 year olds intent...
Interesting little video illustrating specifically how the sound symposer works.
Compared to what they did on the Focus ST, it sounds like they turned it up to 11 for the Fiesta...

Noddie's got a Mountune one which is black I think...Does look better for sure.
I think that white one is on STOC...Should be a 'Neverbeen' sticker on the back iirc...
I agree.
In the history of cars has there ever been a functioning diffuser that gives more down-force on one side of the car than the other?
Looks completely wrong to me on that basis.
My throttle pedal was exactly the same as that...but the brake pedal on my 172 Cup was shiny down both side edges.
Because left foot braking.
You should give it a go...can really help settle the car mid turn if you go in too hot or give you a better/smoother brake/throttle transition if no...
Beautiful! No other word for it.
Fancy travelling the length of the country to do mine and realise you're wrong about Spirit Blue being the best colour? ;)
270 sold so far! Wow. It wold have been 271 if the dealer I contacted showed even the slightest interest in selling one or knowledge about the product.
Way to go Renault. Textbook example of how to royally f*** yourself.
I've never driven a 172/182 on 17s, but I seriously doubt there's any substance to the statement "17s handle better".
As far as I can tell the only reason you'd want 17s would be for the looks because in almost every other way there's no tangible benefit.
Downside is the cost of tyres versus...
I use Fuel Log (Android app) to gather the fuel data and everything else I log into the Excel sheets. Within the worksheet I have all the graphs on one tab that update automatically each time data is added, then I stick the individual graphs into PowerPoint so I can print each 'slide' as a jpeg...
I won't play it unless my 11 year old is in bed.
Even with my headset on so she can't hear the continual stream of "motherf***ers!" from Trevor, I don't want her seeing 99% of what happens...she's 11, it's just not right nor necessary for them to be exposed to s**t like this at that age.
I've had almost 6,000 miles of knowing EXACTLY what you mean.
They just feel 'right' don't they? A ball of energy always raring to go flying up the road and tear around corners but happily trundling along at sedate speeds.
Took my old man out in it for the first time yesterday (old as in...
Indeed. A dipstick and actually seeing oil on the end of it is far better than some dodgy French electrics that may or may not be 100% working when you need them to be.
No bother at all.
Recaro seats were a very expensive and in my opinion wholly unnecessary option when new...especially when the standard seats are so good. Took mine on track many a time and never felt myself wanting more support from the standard chairs.
Firm ride? Yep! Get used to that!
So, with almost 6k miles now on the clock time for a little update...and there's, ummmm, no news at all really.
Economy is far easier to come by running V-Power Nitro through it as opposed to Tesco Momentum...and from what I've seen so far, the MPG gain far outweighs the cost increase so I'll...
