    Forgive me for being completely uninformed (never had a car let alone modified one)... but can somebody take a minute to briefly explain how an induction kit works, and its implications on 1) performance 2) warranty 3) insurance

    advice/opinion on 1.2 Extreme (might buy)

    I didnt really have a choice about colour but I still jumped at the deal because Id rather have a Clio complete with sports fittings than *any* other small car that I looked at, and its not even costing any extra (less in some cases). Plus its my first car so to be honest just the prospect of...

    i only ordered it last thursday... i spoke to a dealer in Southampton and a dealer in Cardiff and both said 7-10 days. I went with Cardiff because he did a better deal, and they had received the car on Monday (3 working days later). However, both made it clear that Renault arent taking any...

    oh yeah with regard to running in (saw your other post) I was planning on running mine up to Cumbria (where my parents live) and back (to Southampton) at gentle revs which should be about 700 on the clock over the weekend just to speed the process up a little... is that a good idea?

    Clio on Top Gear!!!!!!!

    I cant really comment on the IT scene in Jerset, as its a much smaller and closed market... most of my clients are in London and the Thames Valley so Im used to dealing with *vast* numbers of competing applicants. However, that sounds like a good offer, and 1st line always leads to 2nd and 3rd...

    Correct i still havent seen the Extreme, hence starting this post before entering quite a significant financial commitment. Ive just arranged to test drive a Dynamique this afternoon (obviously not going to mention already ordered from other dealer...) but I wont get to see an Extreme until its...

    advice/opinion on 1.2 Extreme (might buy)

    Yeah I think my limitation is cost more than anything else... the Dynamique also lacks metallic paint (+275 notes?) and doesnt seem to be available with such a good discount (the dealers say Extreme is discontinued, so clearing end of line stock and hence only available in Platinum Silver which...

    Dont keep on about your 172... or Ill do something silly like buy an unsensible car that I couldnt possibly afford to insure. Id have to park it up on the driveway and sit in it just for fun. My mate keeps harping on about the day that he gets one, but hes got 4 yrs NCB and a trade-in, hence a...

    on the road was £9045 so obviously £7745 when taking his contribution into account. Works out, on Selections agreement, at about £160pm @12k miles pa. Couldnt find another dealer that could match that (I did try).

    Well... Im going to have a wander tomorrow and see if I can test drive one somewhere... my mind was pretty made up already just on looks, reputation and the fact that I learnt to drive in one (though not from the Sports collection). Of course... a few years down the road... Ill trade it in for...

    I wasnt asking how it compared to the larger motored Clios :) At 21 with 0 years NCB and a penis, a 172 is unfeasible on the insurance side of things! I just wanna know that Im getting a car that Ill be happy with. I only really rushed into it without testing etc because the dealer said...
