He started it to rub peoples faces in it. lol When Ive purchased new cars Ive never been able to get near the sort of prices some people go on about on car forums. The only way Ive ever managed is with a F & F discount. I have seen stories of dealers where sales guys have said one thing...

Still going to singles night in Tesco Mike?:p

12 months old 18k miles they gave me £9,200 for it.

Quote: Originally posted by toonboy on 11 July 2005You paid 12400? not a bad price. being the latest and greatest i hope they hold there value a bit better than other 182s too. Around that, think it was just a tad less. 20% on F & F from Renault Birmingham. I had a 182 this time last...

Quote: Originally posted by toonboy on 11 July 2005 no, F+F is 15% discount, i got 20% discount Nope, F & F from a main Renault dealer is 20%. From a small franchise dealer its less.

Around that.

You got that on Friends and Family I take it?

I dont know what causes it to be honest. When they did mine they managed to put a scratch in one of the front wings!

I had the same on my 182. Renault swapped both under warranty. It takes a couple of hours as they have to remove the front bumper to do it. Lee

I was in the QA room as the view is of the traffic on 5 ways and the Hagley Road. The entire place has aircon.

Sprung, I was eating an apple watching the traffic go by while cooling my sack on the aircon.

Currently stuck in the traffic jam heading up the Hagley road exiting Brum.

Theyve been posting loads of pics of my car on there recently too. As well as on a couple of other foreign Clio sites. I even had PMs of some Spanish guys about it.

The ride is fine on B roads. The only time it suffers is when its very bouncy, but even then its not too bad. I think they commented on that in the MSN review and summed it up well. Have a read of the comments made here about the ride and handling...

I traded in my 182 with Cup packs for a Trophy. The difference is pretty huge. The ride of the Trophy is extremely firm and it corners a lot flatter. It also dives into corners with amazing front end grip, with understeer reduced considerably. It also puts its power down well out of corners...

Welcome to Cliosport. Insurance is 17D. When I insured mine it wasnt on the system so I had no extra charge over the 182 I had at the time.

Mine is just the 53r. Right the Reno interface stuff arrived today and doesnt work. All the connections are correct and it claims to work on them up to an 05 plate but it does bugger all. Going to call about it now and see what the deal is.

More of the same: :D "The Clio Trophy is the best of its kind that Renault has ever produced, and puts every other hot hatch on the back foot - including contenders like the excellent Golf GTI. Even Ford and Vauxhall should be more than a little worried with the launch of their hot Focus ST...

I didnt think they would let you in at the weekend with only a Clio. And get that front number plate sorted out. ;)
