Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Everything looks good apart from the front end. It's like a snake's mouth or something, just needs a tongue poking out the front. Not sure about the speedo and taco set-up either.

In the 200? I'd guess the JCW would be a different story, the S isn't all that rapid but a marked improvement in pace over the supercharged car. Yeah, the power delivery on the Mini is quite subtle compared with the Cup. I loved the Cup but I couldn't have a Clio over the Mini now. I can't...

Never owned a supercharged but my mate hated that I had a Cup that was a good bit quicker than his Mini. The R56 doesn't feel very quick but picks up pace very easily. The Cup needed to be hammered which was fun.

Yup. The Supercharged was fairly limp but the new turbo has a good bit of torque.

Why would that matter that they are different cars? Both hatches, no?

Aren't miles a unit of distance/length?

You'll know it's a Cup by the way you slay everything else on the road.

Exactly. An MOT is to rate the vehicle's roadworthiness, emissions and safety. Why would non standard wheels or a stereo automatically deem it a fail if there was nothing wrong with them? BS. Maybe a stupid exhaust would be a fail or lights that are not too bright etc.

http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-buyers-guide/cbg_roadtax.html I'm liking the low tax on the Cooper S. £120 for the year.

Nice review. I've not long bought a new R56 myself and pretty much agree on everything you have said vs the Clio. I never used to like them but have come round, especially on the newer models. I'm loving the car and although I enjoyed the Clio, I now like having the toys and quality. Great cars.

I guess, if we're being pedantic.

Maybe it should just have it's own section... 'Veeintheback'

What makes it a hypercar? There's always a top and bottom to each section, so surely it's just the top supercar? The Clio is a hatch so the Vee is a hatch. Anyone that owns a Vee and suggests to people (should they ask) that they own a supercar are just embarrassing themselves.

Dammit!

While this is impressive and shows how well sorted it is, it doesn't always mean it's a great day-to-day car. Hot hatches should be a compromise of performance and comfort, so that they are equally good on the track as around town. I'm sure the Megane is good at both but cars that are fast...

Woossaaaaa....

Gash poll or not, there are plenty of Renaults in there. Can't be a bad thing.

Luggage catcher.

Nice car although I never loved the styling of the GP. I'm sure it's class to drive though. I've just picked a new Cooper S and I'm loving it. I didn't think I'd ever own one but glad I have. It's not quite as fast as I thought but handles well and the toys are good.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Fairy lights on cars is wrong.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Looks gash but good that it's a turbo this time. Maybe it will look better in the flesh.

Just let him be. Be the bigger man as you'll be the one that gets caught by the 5-0.

It didn't really bother me because of all the other rattles that were going on in the Clio.

I was in the space, he wasn't. The annoying point was it was the only space left as it's full everyday. I was able to fit in the space and get out my car. How is that being a tool? Bothered?

The whistle noise is perfectly normal btw. IIRC, it's the hole under the wing mirror that has the temp guage in it.

By hassle I mean, will Tesco or whoever's car park it is not try and ticket you for missing the space? So you might save a ding in the door but pick up a £30 fine or something? Not too long ago a brand new 200 was parked over two spaces in my local train station car park. The two spaces were on...

If you are not in a bay, are you not at risk of other hassle? Getting out to take a photo is ghey.

Remember the 200 will be thirstier than the 182. Not sure if you have added that as part of the monthly payment increase. I tried one of the Megane dCi 175's - what a car!

Problem is, those soulless, diesel German cars are just as capable. And pulling away from a Jag... wow. Just enjoy the car and get on with it.

Have you read the comments on here lately? It clearly is teens driving them.
