First couple of weeks it should move at roughly the same same speed as the rev counter - or you aint driving it properly ;).
As above - do your calcs once you fill up again.
I look forward to every journey I make in the car - I have never done that in any car I've owned before :D.
Never owned a Clio before so can't comment on how they compare to other models - but the 200 is a very competent B-Road Bullet :evil:
I had 3 Scoobies - so looks are clearly a long way down on my list of requirements from a car :D.
I once got a car purely on looks (Calibra when they first came out) - But they really did look good :cool:.
And drove like a chesterfield sofa :dead:
None taken :cool:
I didn't buy it to look at it ;)
Having said that, as I mentioned on another thread, pretty much everyone away from CS.net comments on how "cute" the car is - not sure if "cute" is a good thing or not :S.

Then get your stealer to match (or tell him to go fcuk himself)
:cool:
Don't you use Google either.
Add lazy to your list :rasp:;)

The only thing I would change on it is 6th Gear - so it's just for motorway cruising - Lost count the number of times I've gone to change up from 6th to 7th :o
We are still talking about Clios here aren't we ;)
As plenty have already stated these cars come alive above 6.5k - but they don't feel like a rally car on steroids ALL the time.
This makes it the perfect car for me.
As for topping up on extras that really add fcuk all to the experience...
I buy all my cars off the Internet and each time I do I save thousands.
Dealers in Aberdeen seem to be able to get away with not being competetive with the rest of the UK - so fcuk em :D
£13k should get you one :D.
As for colour - who gives a $hite what colour it is (and indeed what the front looks like)
You can't see the front when you're driving - and if you wanted to buy a car for it's looks - who on earth would buy any clio FFS.
Quite amusing how some on this forum...
The 200 is a great car.
The thing I like about it's looks is that it doesn't really look like a Clio - I get people asking me what model is it ?
Best car I've ever owned.
Not the best I've ever driven but I couldn't afford the Audi Quattro Coupe when I was 21 :D
